I’m Jarrod Joyce, a 17-year-old tennis player from Lal Lal, 25km from Ballarat.

I aspire to be a professional tennis player.

After receiving my first ATP Men's Points and Ranking earlier this year I will now be competing overseas in Men's events to gain more experience and improve my ranking. Your support for expenses to ITF Men's 25 events in the USA in August and Japan in September would be much appreciated.

A highlight In January 2024 was competing at the Australian Open in the Junior doubles. An amazing experience was being a hitting partner for the world number one player, Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open.

I have been playing International Tennis Federation (ITF), Junior tournaments for three years including tournaments in Australia and Asia.

My current world ITF ranking is #229 and I’m ranked 4th in Australia for my birth year.

Some of my Junior tennis highlights:      

·        Winner – Doubles: Brisbane Hardcourt Junior International, 2024.

·        Semi-finalist – Singles: Brisbane Hardcourt Junior International, 2024.

·        Winner – Doubles: Mornington Victoria Junior Claycourt International, 2023.

·        Runner-up – Singles: Mornington Victoria Junior Claycourt International, 2023.

·        Winner – Doubles: Rod Laver Queensland Junior International, 2023.

·        Runner-up – Doubles: New South Wales Junior International, Sydney, 2023.

Whilst I’m dedicated to the training, commitment and travel required, I cannot succeed without a lot of support.

Be a part of my journey and support team, and I’d be grateful if you could provide a tax-deductible donation.
