Wimbledon tennis star Ross Hutchins insists he can iron out the inconsistencies in his game and become a top ten doubles play starting with a good run at the Championships next week.

The 23-year-old former King’s College School student is currently ranked 34 in the world is hoping for a seeding in this year’s tournament at SW19, which starts on Monday.

Hutchins has made three Masters Series quarter-finals and made his Davis Cup debut this year, as well as appearing at the French and Australian Opens, but has started the grass season in less than spectacular fashion crashing out at Nottingham and Queens in the last fortnight.

He and Aussie veteran Stephen Huss, fell to Israeli duo and third seeds Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram over five sets last year, but the pair are hoping the experience of having played and beaten some of the best in the world so far this year can see them a long way into the draw this time around.

And Hutchins reckons that will take him some way towards his goal of one day landing a Grand Slam title.

“I think I’m quite a long way from my potential. I want to be regularly appearing at Masters tournaments and in Grand Slams and I’ve had a taste of that and it is where I want to be,” he said.

“I think I can get into the top ten in the world. I’m around the 30 mark at the moment and I can go higher.

“Our aim is always to improve. We are doing that all the time and our aim is to be involved in the second week and then anything can happen depending on how well we are playing.

“We’ve beaten the top four pairs in the world at some stage this year, but we have to become more consistent and putting away the lower ranked pairs.

“I believe I have all the attributes to be a top ten doubles player and one day I hope I can start getting to Grand Slam finals and start winning titles.”

Hutchins, who has also played alongside British number one and world number three Andy Murray this year, has appeared in all four Grand Slam events inside the last 12 months following his rise up the rankings with Huss.

And he doesn’t see the partnership with the 33-year-old breaking up just yet.

“We’ve been playing together a while, but it still feels fresh and the partnership is still strong,” he adds.

“Once you get to a certain level it isn’t hard switching partners because you can adapt your game pretty quickly. I’m still learning from Stephen and I see there is no reason to change that.”

And as for Wimbledon itself.

“I’ve played all the Slams now. This one is special for me, but at the end of the day it is just another tournament,” he said.

“It is not right that British players are judged by their performance at Wimbledon just because it is the only time when they get in the spotlight.

“The hard work is done away from here and it is the whole year we should be judged on.”
