This year’s Rothesay Open Nottingham has been buzzing with talk of Ryan Peniston’s opening round victories.
The 26-year-old upset the second seed Jiri Vesely in one of the tournament’s early rounds before following it up less than 24 hours later by defeating Borna Gojo in straight sets.
Who is Ryan Peniston coach Mark Taylor?
While Peniston may be a new name to some British tennis fans, many will not be surprised by this development, since the University of Memphis alumnus is currently having one of his greatest years to date.
Peniston believes that working with his current coach, Mark Taylor, was the key to his development over the past couple of years, which has been nothing short of amazing.
Peniston, a regular on the ATP Challenger tour, has reached three finals in the past 12 months (Antalya, Prague, and Ostrava), climbed to a new career high ranking within the top 200, and everything seems to be going according to plan.
Peniston acknowledges his improvement on and off the court since his initial appearance in 2021, now that a spot in the final four at Nottingham is on the line.
