Greg Jones

Early in 2010, Greg Jones moved inside the top 200 on the back of some impressive results in Futures and Challenger events.

An all-court player, Greg was the first Australian junior in 20 years to reach the final of the French Open boys’ singles championship in 2007 and he also reached the semifinals at Junior Wimbledon that year, reaching a junior world ranking of No.4.

Greg started playing tennis, aged eight, with school friends at Rawson Park Tennis Club in Mosman, Sydney.

His idol is Pete Sampras and, like the American, his dream is to hold the world No.1 ranking. Greg also grew up idolising Pat Rafter and one day hopes to represent Australia at Davis Cup level, as well as win a Grand Slam in the same year.

Greg’s mother, Donna is a radiographer and his father, Russell, is a quantity surveyor. An only child, Greg’s favourite food is burgers and chips and his favourite movie is The Land Before Time.
