that's a good result, well done Henry.

As I noted elsewhere, Henry is not playing the ITF World Junior Tour Finals, presumably he is going after experience and points on the main mens ITF circuit.

Remind me how old Henry is? Do you think he will go down the college route or push out of juniors now and hit the pro's circuit?

He's born in 2006 (now age 17)

So he has the rest of this year and one full year next year left in juniors

I've no idea about his plans. And presume he has A levels next year? But I'd think it reasonably likely that he'll want to go pro immediately.
