Joshua Paris
From a young age, I was passionate about all sports. Growing up in London, my family were very sporty and I really enjoyed playing tennis and football. I started playing in the park at age 5 and had some lessons a couple years later. At around 8 years old I started leaning more towards tennis and enjoyed the fact that I was quite good! It all carried on from there and I began competing nationally and eventually internationally in my early teenage years. I reached number 32 in Europe u14 and travelled around competing in the biggest world Junior tournaments

Later on I transitioned into the u18 ITF tour but when I turned 16 I took a break when my father passed away, and really took my time to decide in which direction I wanted to go with my tennis. I decided I wanted to give it a go and I started playing mostly ITF futures event, and got my first points at 16 years old.
My mother is French so I studied at a french school in London, which I remained focused on while I was training and competing. When I graduated, I had the opportunity with help from a sponsor to move to Barcelona and train at 4slam academy, training with some of the best coaches and players in the world. I lived and trained with players like Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev and it really brought my game forward.
