The 14-year-old, who is a member of Caversham Tennis Club, booked a spot at the All England Club following success at the county finals.

Chow was beaten by Oliver Matthews in the singles quarter-finals, but he received a second shot at silverware in the boys’ county doubles.

He teamed up with Benedict Turley and the pair progressed to the final, where they beat Alasdair Hambrey and Michael Morrison in straight sets.

“We got off to a bad start, three games down,” said Chow. “Then we pulled our heads together and won the match which was amazing.

“I’ve been to Wimbledon to watch but I’ve never been there to play. It was great to play on grass courts for the first time.

“It was different to what I’m used to. It bounces a lot slower but when it’s wet it goes faster.

“It was a really exciting week and great to meet other people. Hopefully I can come back one day and play there again.

“I have just got to carry on developing my rating so that I can get into regionals next year.”

Chow was joined at SW19 by Reading School pupil Atro Autio, although the 13-year-old could not progress past the second round of the boys’ consolation draw.

The pair also met former British number one and Tournament Ambassador Tim Henman, and Autio admitted he enjoyed every minute of his outing.

“It was amazing having the chance to play at Wimbledon. I can’t describe my feelings, I’m just speechless,” said Autio, a member of Wargrave Lawn Tennis Club.

“I came second in my county qualifiers so I only found out I’d be playing while I was on holiday in Finland.

“When I heard the news I couldn’t believe it. It was probably the highlight of the holiday.

“It feels very weird to think I’ve played on the same courts as some of the star names who have graced Wimbledon.

“It was just amazing and is something I will never forget.”
