Getting the job done at home in front of family and friends, it doesn’t get much better than this.

Gavin Van Peperzeel, 25 Oct 2015

first picked up a racquet at age seven
trains at the National Academy in Brisbane
first realised he was good enough to turn professional when he left school and began training full time
has enjoyed plenty of success in local tournaments across Queensland
sees his quarterfinal finish at the Australia F10 Futures tournament at Port Pirie as a vital step towards a very successful career
hopes to one day play on centre court at any Grand Slam, seeing this as a great experience and a way to measure his achievement
lists his toughest opponent as Maverick Banes, because “we always have battles”
dream tennis scenario would involve playing Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal in the first round of the Australian Open at Rod Laver Arena will all his family and friends there
perfect day would involve winning a Grand Slam – preferably the Australian Open
ultimate professional goal is to be the best he can be

heroes are Usain Bolt and Rafael Nadal
best piece of advice he’s received is to train hard and play hard
had he not been a tennis player, he would perhaps be a coach or work in the areas of strength and conditioning
