Oscar, who joined the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy (MCTA) in October last year, has shown huge potential since his selection, but now needs to take the next step.

MCTA Head Coach David Sammel believes the decision to send Oscar to Sutton, under the direction of Nick Weal, will regularly expose him to situations that he will encounter on the tennis circuit.

“Oscar has the work ethic and undoubted potential but he is short of match toughness and we hope that by playing many practice matches with the large group of players at Sutton he will gain the confidence to progress in tournaments at a level we expect from a player of his calibre,” said Sammel. 

“Our goal at the MCTA is for players to reach the top 100 in the world and we will explore every avenue in order to help our players achieve this.”
