Northamptonshire's Alex Ward has jetted off to the Dominican Republic to participate in three futures events to try and improve his ranking going into 2009.
The 18-year-old trains in the Sanchez Casal Academy in Barcelona and Ward sensationally broke onto the scene in May of this year. Ward not only claimed his first ranking points, but he went onto to brilliantly reach the final of the futures event in Balaguer, Catalonia.
Ward has enjoyed a successful year and is currently ranked 988 in the world and 24th in Britain. Ward will be looking to improve on this in the coming weeks and he feels that this is an excellent opportunity to do so: "I have had a great year and I believe that the Dominican Republic is an excellent opportunity for me to earn some more ranking points. I feel I am playing well enough to have some good results over the next three weeks and it will certainly be a fantastic experience."
Ward will be keeping me updated throughout the three weeks and i will be reporting on how he fares in these tournaments.
