I've been hering a lot about Marcus Willis over the last few days, but had no idea he's based in Warwick: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/new...arcus-11535190

Not heard of him, but I'm not a tennis fan.

But it is good to be featured in the press for good reasons.

I'd never heard of him either but I'm just watching television and he seems to be doing well against Federer

Apparently, he was on the verge of quitting tennis - or, at least coaching - at the beginning of the year, but his girlfriend persuaded him to stick with it. I be he's glad he did.

Not a bad day's pay off was it?

He got something like £30,000 for his appearance, didn't he?
