Wow… I really did not expect this.
For most of my life, people have judged me very publicly. First as a tennis player, then later as a person. Sometimes fairly, sometimes unfairly, but always publicly.
This book was the first time I truly told my story in my own words. Completely honestly.
What has touched me most over the last year has been hearing from readers around the world who connected with it on a human level. Not because of tennis, but because life can humble all of us at some point.
To have the book recognised with the International Sports Book of the Year award in London, alongside such strong competition, honestly means more to me than I can properly express.
Thank you to everyone who read it, supported it and believed in me.
A special thank you to my wife Lilian for collecting the award on my behalf at The Oval, and to my family who stood beside me through everything.
Very grateful. 🙏🏼📚
CWC League 2 match between Scotland 🏴 & Oman 🇴🇲 has been abandoned without a ball being bowled due to a wet outfield.
Mind you, the sun was shining brightly & this is the new Namibia 🇳🇦 cricket ground set to host the 2027 WC… so the drainage definitely needs to be questioned.

Italy (not a grass pitch in the country) are now combing the globe looking for players with any bloodline connection from an ancestor who was alive after the Kingdom of Italy was established in 1861 !
This is a joke @ICC
It makes a mokery of cricketing nations who build infrustructure and develop the game and introduce young people to cricket !
JOKE !
