He has set his sights on playing in every Grand Slam
Luke turned professional in 2017 after returning from the US, where he’d spent four years studying at Clemson University in South Carolina.He honed his skills on the college tennis circuit - making lifelong friends in the process.
Before a serious knee injury in February, Luke hit a career high of 298 in the world doubles rankings and 606 in the world single's rankings. “There are the physical challenges such as staying healthy, which I haven’t done this year," Luke said.“I was lucky that it happened later in my career. Because I’m more mature, I was able to see the bigger picture. It was annoying, but I’m lucky that I’m back playing well again."When you play 30 weeks of the year, there will probably only be one time of the year where you’re in one place for more than a month.
And Luke has had the backing of a Yorkshire care home company after winning over the support of its tennis-mad boss.
