I'm sorry to hear about the predicament you are in right now buddy. I know how difficult it is to get a sponsor, I've been there. Corporate sponsorship is hard to come by, and usually they go for more established players, and I am not saying better, but a little more seasoned. However, if we are talking about 100quid a month, you may try smaller companies or enthusiastic privateers. For instance, my previous architectural company sponsored my tennis when I was doing my practical in London. Uncles, brothers, sisters, aunts and other family members who probably have small businesses can contribute as a sponsor. If I am not mistaken, it's tax exempted.

The best placed to get sponsored is at a very very well known "big" tournament and play extremely well where people who are looking for ppl to sponsor will look at you for sponsorship. I know becuz as a 17 yr old and playing for 3 yrs 3-5 times a week and playing at a professional level i sandbagged for the big tournament (US Open) and won multiple events and got sponsored by Blades By Charle aka BBC. Look on the bright side kid
