Max Radiven and Dimitar Dimitrov, both winners on the WTT circuit, are among five young English athletes competing at the WTT Youth Contender Tunis this week.

Radiven (pictured above) won two singles titles at Under-15 level in 2024 but is now competing at U17 and U19. Dimitrov is no stranger to success either, having won six tournaments at Under-11 level. He is third seed in the Under-13s in Tunisia.

They are joined by brothers Janak and Nishil Shah, and by Oscar Nikolli – the latter two both won bronze medals on the WTT circuit last season.

Radiven is also competing in the Under-19 Mixed Doubles, where he & Yu Zheng Cheah of Malaysia face Enrique Rios of Puerto Rico & Hanka Kodet of Czechia in the last 32.
