In the 2^nd Round Louis played on the glass centre-court against the USA No. 2, Jon Ho. The match was streamed live on Squash TV with Simon Parke (former World No. 2) commentating on the match. Louis took the second game but eventually lost the match 3-1 (11-2, 5-11, 11-6, 11-6).

In February Louis will play the French Junior Open in Lille, hoping to continue his success this season in international tournaments.
