Just makes no sense to me that he has no Funding given hes on track to make top 100 in juniors and I seem to remember him making the quartets at Les petit as which may have been a reason that he got the same funding as Ben and oli


 Max is barely inside 200 ITF for being nearly 17. This is not impressive at all.  I cant recall him ever performing in Nationals, Tennis Europes (excep one event - QF of Tarbes at 14U) and not the ITFs. He is well behind Ben GW and Oli B From the same year group.  Not sure why he should be given funding over other kids ?

I agree, Fuey

There have been several people on this forum who have pretty vehemently defended Max but I've never quite seen it myself.

But, to me, the whole question is how the pyramid of financial help should be structured.

If it is a proper pyramid, you have mega help at national level, medium help at regional level, and a little bit of help at county level. This is what I've been involved with and it works well.

It's relatively fluid, and flexible. Players move up and down. If, however, you simply have mega or nothing, it's terribly abrupt, very difficult to get selected and quite difficult to get dropped too (because so much has now been invested). There's an inertia in the system which I don't like.

Hopefully some of the top 2010ers will have a go at some J30s soon.
