About the Author

Born in Wimbledon, I have been a sports journalist since 1995. After covering many different sports, including golf and cricket, I have specialised in tennis for more than 20 years and have reported on the ATP and WTA Tours for numerous outlets worldwide. I am a regular contributor to The Guardian, ESPN, Glasgow Herald and TennisMajors.com, while my work can also be found in The New York Times and a wide variety of newspapers and magazines. I am still deluding myself that my best playing days are ahead of me, even if reality suggests otherwise.
