The former coach of a rising star at Wimbledon has said he was a “natural-born fighter” on the court – even as a youngster.
Justin Sherring, 50, coached Jack Draper, 19, from the age of five to 15 when he was just starting out in tennis.
Mr Sherring said he was a “real, talented dude” and the pair were extremely competitive when they faced off in games during his early days of training.
“We had just so much fun and he had so much passion for the game,” he told the PA news agency.
