Daniel Cox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Daniel Cox (born September 28, 1990 in Lincoln, England), is a British tennis player.
Daniel, who first came into international prominence when he reached the finals of Le Petit As, Tarbes, is currently regarded as one of the best junior players in the world.
Cox is a right hander who favours slow hard, but seems to be comfortable on all surfaces. He recently chose Marco Tennis Academy, in Marbella, as a training base, favouring the warm weather training in Spain over that in the United Kingdom.

[edit] Early career
[edit] 2006
Daniel spent the first few months of the year attempting to qualify for various Futures and Satellite tournaments. Although he came across little success initially, he finally qualified for a Futures event in Portugal before losing in the first round to an ATP top 500 player.
He took very little time to adjust himself to the 18 and under circuits when he finally made his debut in April. He reached the semi-finals of a Grade 5 tournament in Sutton and followed it by a finals appearance in a Grade 5 tournament in Nottingham the very next week.
[edit] 2007
Cox advanced to the second round of the Australian Open Boys' Singles championship before losing to Roman Jebavy of the Czech Republic. In the Boy's Doubles competition, Daniel reached the quarterfinals with Gastao Elias of Portugal.
