YOUTH MUST LEARN TO USE ALL THE COURT

Says FRED PERRY

During the British Hard Court Tennis Championships at Bourne- mouth, much emphasis was placed on the improvement of the younger players in English tennis. They have improved considerably and I think we can now safely say that English tennis is on the way back.
