Junior Wimbledon Champ, Luke Saville, looks up to his tennis potentials – Tennis Special
Fan of Lleyton Hewitt however, built like the top Serbian, Novak Djokovic, the Junior World Wimbledon Champ, Luke Saville is hoping to rise up as the current top Serbian did. Convinced to grow more in size than he is at the
moment, Saville is hoping to build up more and more power in his forehands and his serves.
Standing at 186cm, the south Australian is deeply concerned about his movements on the circuit. The Junior Champ is also considered an aggressive player and is well aware of his short comings.
"I've got to get stronger, fitter, faster."My game is a big, aggressive game so I'm not going to be scooting around the baseline like Lleyton Hewitt.” He said."I'm going to be a lot bigger frame. I'm going to come to the
net a lot more."If I can get a little more mobile around the court, because I'm going to keep on growing, that would be a good achievement." Said the 17-year-old
Heading the field in the week’s national under-18 championship in Melbourne, Saville is looking forward for his spot in first big event of the year coming up in January, the Australian Open. However, at this age, 17-years-old,
the Aussie realizes that in order to capture the stardom he dreams of, he certainly needs plenty of hard work.
Junior Wimbledon Champ, mentored by Todd Woodbridge and coached by Ray Ruffels along with Des Tyson, is considering a realistic goal to compete for rather than make his appearance in the Australian open, that would be to
defend his Wimbledon title. Ranked at world No.2 at the moment, Saville will jump over to world No.1 as the top seed would be ineligible to compete as the 1993-born players.
"I'll play the Australian Open juniors in January and depending on how I go there, possibly the French juniors, maybe Wimbledon again," he said."Wimbledon is obviously the highlight of my year. I'm going to cherish that forever."But
it's time to move on now. I feel like I'm playing great.”
Expected to make his mark in the Australian Open, the young Aussie either needs to win the play-offs or get a wildcard in order to enter the tournament, however that is up to the selectors. The main goal Saville considers
is to put his step into the future events and slowly transitioning into challengers and so on. Nevertheless, if the Aussie considers Djokovic a true sports man, he needs tons of practice hours in order to match the perfection of the outclass Serbian.
