Melbourne, 23 August 2011 | tennis.com.au

It’s been a big year for James Duckworth, not only has the talented 19 year old won four titles, he’s slashed his 2010 yerar-end ranking by more than 420 places.

Duckworth’s latest title came last week at the Italy F23 Futures event in Este Padova, which included a win over fellow Australian Jason Kubler en route to the final.

A member of the elite AIS Pro Tour Program, Duckworth says he’s hoping to continue to improve his game in the lead-up to the Australian summer.
