NAADS — Tennis, Played Loud
NAADS.NUTOOL.CLOUD Tour Diary Reels Altitude Contact

County №1 · Girls 14U · Bedfordshire

Naads

Tennis, played loud.

Fourteen years old, 176 cm of first serve, the number one ranked girl in Bedfordshire at 14&U — and, as of this summer, Road to Wimbledon county champion, which means the next stop is the actual All England Club. The warm-up album remains whatever your neighbours complain about.

Road to Wimbledon

02 / Church Road, SW19

Not a dream — a booking. She won the Road to Wimbledon county final for Bedfordshire, and on 2 August she walks into the All England Club to play the national finals, juniors 14&U. Grass courts. Predominantly white kit. The playlist stays black.

Same lawns as the Championships. This one wasn't wished for — it was won.

The dream

03 / Melbourne Park

Wimbledon is in the diary — that ticket above is real. This one is the far one, the tournament that isn't a goal, it's the goal: the Australian Open — blue courts, January heat, the main draw of a WTA Grand Slam. This ticket is already printed. The date field is the only thing left to fill in.

For the record: it is roughly 16,900 km from Bedfordshire to Melbourne Park. She intends to cover it one forehand at a time.

The set list

04 / Every week, front to back

Training weeks get played like the albums she loves — front to back, no skips. The volume knob on work rate is the same as the one on the amp: it only turns one way.

The soundtrack

05 / Warning: loud

Some players visualise in silence. She warms up to Metallica and walks on court to Slipknot, and honestly the opponents can probably hear it through the headphones.

Warm-up rotation

Metallica

Riffs for the stretching, thunder for the mindset. Absolutely loves it — the neighbours have opinions, none of which are rallies' business.

Match-day walk-on

Slipknot

Nine masked men from Iowa, one unmasked girl from Bedfordshire, identical energy levels. The changeover chair has never felt so intense.

Official match-day amplifier

// warning: actually makes noise

The lab

06 / Off court

When the racquets go back in the bag, the soldering iron comes out. She builds robots — proper ones, with servos and firmware and opinions — engineered with her dad and an AI copilot on the bench. Baseline to breadboard, same brain, same intensity.

> robot requests tennis match . denied (it would lose)

Yonex, obviously

07 / The gear

Some things are non-negotiable: strings fresh, grips new, everything Yonex. The isometric head shape gets the sweet spot; the metal gets the swing speed.
