Henry (born 2006) has to have a thread of his own because, as of today, 16th July 2023, he won the Boys' Junior Wimbledon singles title.

This is the first time for GB in over 60 years.

Not only that, he won every round in two sets, with first serves today of 134 and 132 mph - this was the quickest serve recorded today - faster than Alcaraz, faster than Djoko! He also played this week with wonderful attacking groundshots, especially on his forehand side, and showing no fear in coming forward.

Henry comes from Wolverhampton (and has a wonderfully rowdy Henry's Barmy Army supporters group). He's a tall lad, about 6ft 4. 

Henry has been on the radar in the juniors threads here for several years; he made the semis of the U18 National Championships this year and the QFs the year before, where he also won the U16s. 

At the age of 12, Searle spent nine months at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy. Since then he's been part of the Loughborough Academy with coaches such as Morgan Phillips.
