Christian is a concentrated champion

Noosa local Christian Caldwell can now add the 2014 Rod Laver Queensland Junior Tennis Championship win to his already impressive list of achievements.
The eight-year-old, who also won the 2014 Brisbane open-age championships, fought hard over five days to play in the competition finals at the Queensland Tennis Centre on 12 July.
Christian won both the semi-final and the final with convincing 6-0 victories, taking out eight matches in a row and only conceding three games through the tournament.
With a short deuce format it was an amazing show of concentration and focus from the young champion.
The Rod Laver Queensland Junior Tennis Championships is the largest tennis tournament in Australasia with more than 650 competitors from 16 countries.
Christian, who trains at Noosa Tennis Academy three times a week and plays local tournaments and leagues, is one to watch in the coming years as he looks set to take the tennis world by storm.
