Joshua Luck
Hey! My name is Josh Luck and I’m a tennis player from Cape Town, South Africa. After achieving a Top 220 ITF Junior ranking as well as a National U18 ranking of 3 in my country, I received a scholarship to a university in the United States. Unfortunately, during my first year, the health of one of my immediate family members regressed significantly and I chose to return home and be there for my family thereby forfeiting my scholarship. The next few years where hampered by injuries and ultimately a lack of financial resources to pursue tennis fulltime.

Aims & Goals
This is not the easiest question to answer. After so many disruptions and setbacks over the years, on some level, I am just looking to give myself one final opportunity to play the sport that I love and see where my personal ceiling is. I could tell you I see myself cracking the Top 10 in the sport and winning grand slams, but I prefer to under promise and overdeliver. I am also realistic and recognize that my ability to achieve any of my goals are dependent on my financial resources and the number of tournaments I am able to get myself to. Hence, as an initial goal, I hope to play a full 2022 season and reach the Top 750. On the assumption that I achieve this goal, I believe I will have earned the right to pursue the sport for an additional year and will re-evaluate my goals accordingly.
