Samuel, from Winchester and who trains at Bath University, has won four trophies on the Challenger Tour since November, including back-to-back titles in Greece this month. <\/p>\n
He credits the run of good form with everything starting to align in terms of the work he has been putting in during training, and enjoying a period without injury. <\/p>\n
He missed most of the 2024 season after suffering bone bruising and it was not until midway through 2025 he felt healthy and recovered.<\/p>\n
“It’s been going well the last half a year – been winning quite a lot which is a nice feeling and I’m just trying to keep the momentum through each week, one match at a time, not too far ahead and focus the efforts on each week,” Samuel said.<\/p>\n
The next goal for Samuel is to reach the main draw of a Grand Slam – he played at Wimbledon in 2023 in the doubles, reaching the last 32, but has never appeared in a singles event.<\/p>\n
“That’s the next big goal for me,” Samuel said.<\/p>\n
“It’s insane that I’m even going to be able to say that I’m playing Grand Slams. You watch it as a kid on TV like, ‘one day maybe I can be there’, but you don’t actually believe it – but now actually doing it feels amazing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
