Sophie has enjoyed an outstanding year on court, representing the District at U14 and U15, the North of Scotland at U14 and U18, and competing across the UK in Tennis Europe events, British Tours, and Grade 1 tournaments. Her impressive season includes notable wins at Chatsworth, Northumberland, and Tennis World Middlesbrough, among many others.
Reflecting on her award, Sophie said, “I am very happy to receive this award. I’ve had a good year on court, and I’ve really enjoyed it. I have competed hard throughout the year, with one of my highlights being my performances at the Scottish National Championships where I played in my first national singles final.”
Director of Strathallan Tennis Academy, Tommy Ogilvie added, “This is a well-deserved recognition of all the hard work and dedication Sophie continues to show. As a school we are incredibly proud of her achievements and we will continue to drive her on towards her goals in 2026. Well done, Sophie.”
Sophie’s success follows in the footsteps of fellow Strathallan student Thomas D, who received the same honour in 2024 and continues recent achievements of Strathallan’s tennis stars.
