EX DAYNCOURT PUPIL REACHES WIMBLEDON BOYS’ FINAL

Ex Dayncourt pupil George Morgan had the honour of playing in a Wimbledon tennis final as he teamed up with Lewis Burton to reach the British boys’ doubles final. The duo knocked out top-seeds Duilio Beretta and Roberto Quiróz in the second round and beat German fifth-seeds Peter Heller and Kevin Krawietz in the semi-final.
It was an all British affair in the final but their opponents, Liam Broady and Tom Farquharson, came out on top winning 7-6 (7-4) 6-4 on Court One.
Morgan (17) attended Dayncourt School and Loughborough Tennis Academy. He made the most of Dayncourt’s personalised learning programme and followed a bespoke package that enabled him to gain his education whilst following his dreams of playing professional tennis. The school’s assistant head teacher, Dan Philpotts, said: “This is a fantastic achievement for George and acknowledgement of all the hard work and effort that has been put in.
“The future looks incredibly positive and credit has to be given to the team of staff at Dayncourt who have contributed to his success.”
