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/news/local-news/wimbledon-warwick-tennis-coach-marcus-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. |

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

The landlord of my local says it was £50k according to the paper he was reading at the time. - Definitely not to be sneezed at for a few hours work. I wish this guy well for the future, I hope we haven't heard the last of him. |

Marcus' success seems to be attracting new people to tennis; I hope that some of them stick with it beyond the end of the summer holidays: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-37148520 |

Fingers crossed for another few winners. When I was an apprentice, I worked with an old guy who had been a Warwickshire County player in his younger years. As a 60 year old he was still pretty nifty on the court. |
