Falck tests out European clay<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
PROMISING YOUNG tennis<br />
talent Reece Falck is spending<br />
the next eight weeks developing<br />
his game on the clay courts of<br />
Europe.<br />
Falck, 15, is currently in<br />
Amsterdam as part of Tennis<br />
New Zealand’s targeted athlete<br />
programme.<br />
He will compete in two<br />
grade four junior International<br />
Tennis Federation events in the<br />
Netherlands, a grade two event<br />
in Germany, and another event<br />
in Fiji on his way home.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Shirley Boys’ High<br />
School student is coached by<br />
his father Andrew, who is head<br />
coach at the Burwood Park<br />
club.<br />
Andrew believes the eight<br />
weeks of clay court play will<br />
benefit his son’s game.<br />
“Playing on clay is a great<br />
way for young players to<br />
develop their game and it’s<br />
a surface we don’t have easy<br />
access to here,” said Andrew.<br />
Falck is the only Canterbury<br />
tennis player in the targeted<br />
athlete programme.<br />
He won the 14 and under<br />
national title earlier this year<br />
and represented New Zealand<br />
at the junior Davis Cup in<br />
March.<br />
Two other Canterbury<br />
juniors will also have brief<br />
spells in Europe.<br />
National 16 and under<br />
champion Dylan Heap will<br />
head to Amsterdam for three<br />
weeks of training and also play<br />
