I am beginning a new tennis blog, CentreCourtTennis. I hope you all enjoy the articles. Please join our Facebook Page to keep up to date with all the news and gossip.
I currently study at Warwick University in England, taking an active role in the university newspaper and website, and writing many articles over a variety of different sports issues and events. I am a very keen supporter of Southampton FC and Hampshire Cricket Club. I also have a large interest in all matters television and ancient history, especially historical fiction. I study Ancient History and classical civilisation which, when I'm not watching and writing about sport, takes up most of my time.
I would love to have a career in Sports Journalism and am hoping Suite 101 will help me achieve this aim.
