Longines Future Tennis Aces Tournament -Chase Ferguson Rising Star |

After Australia’s big guns Stosur and Tomic lucked out in the men and women’s singles championships at the French Open, all eyes are now on young Aussie rising star, Chase Ferguson, to bring home the junior boy’s title in the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament at Roland Garros.

12 year-old Chase was chosen by Tennis Australia to represent OZ by playing in a junior round robin designed to showcase the future stars of international tennis.

Sixteen children from all around the world are participating in the Longines Future Tennis Aces tournament with the young male winner playing in an exciting final and exhibition match against legend Andre Agassi.

It appears that Chase, who aspires to be the next King of Clay Rafael Nadal, is on track to live out his dream of playing in the Davis Cup for Australia.

Chase trains five days a week at the National Academy in Melbourne with Wayne Arthurs. He recently won the doubles at the under 12’s Claycourt Nationals in QLD.

The Night Before Paris…

In a few hours I will be getting on a plane and flying to Paris to play in the Longines Future Tennis aces tournament.

I was chosen by Tennis Australia to represent Australia a few months ago and I can’t believe it’s finally time for me to leave.
