Meet Matt

At 12 years old, Matt is making an impact as one of the most exciting junior wheelchair tennis players in the world, competing internationally and ranking among the best in the U18 category.

Matt’s competitive spirit started early. Alongside playing rugby at both school and club level, he also raced go-karts competitively. In 2022, Matt made the tough decision to step away from both sports as his legs could no longer safely support him. But he didn’t slow down, in the same year Matt shifted his focus to wheelchair tennis, where his passion and drive have pushed him to rise through the ranks.

On and off the court, Matt’s professionalism is undeniable. Whether he’s training, competing, or representing his sponsors, Matt brings the same intensity and dedication to everything he does. Just as confident in front of the camera or building media relationships as he is on the court, he understands the importance of each aspect of his career.

Matt’s journey isn’t just about sports—it’s about resilience, determination, and breaking boundaries. He’s redefining what’s possible, both as an athlete and as a young role model.
