Profile

Camden joined the team at the Royal Tennis Court in July 2005.

Camden is undoubtedly one of the most talented young players that this sport has seen. What has gone 'before' in Camden's career has really paled in significance by his achievements of not only being eligible for the 2008 World Eliminators but in defeating 2 higher ranked players, firstly Ruaraidh Gunn and in the Final Eliminator Steve Virgona. Both of whom are vastly more experienced and with a higher world ranking. In the World Challenge in Fontainebleau, Camden was never over-awed by his achievement in being there - he was there to win. He nearly achieved this only being defeated in the 12th of a possible 13 set challenge 6/5 by the World Champion, Rob Fahey.

In September 2005 he won his first professional tournament in Britain, The Taylor Cup. In 2007 he won the Open Under 21 and Under 24 singles. Due to the Final Eliminator he was unable in 2008 to defend his titles.

In the Premier Division of the Singer & Friedlander and Maurice Lacroix IRTPA National League 2006 Camden played for RTC along with Ben Ronaldson and Spike Willcocks. The RTC team were the overall winners defeating Cambridge 1 team of Rob Fahey and Neil Roxburgh.

In late April 2006 Camden returned to the States, but often comes over here in the Autumn months. In the IRTPA National League 2007/2008 he played as the No. 1 player in the RTC team. RTC reached the semi-final play off spot, but Camden was unable to play due to his World Eliminator match. The rest of the 2008 and 2009 season will see him often in Europe and it is well worth watching this young player wherever he plays.
