What songs remind of you Wimbledon? Tennis? Grand Slams?

We’ve had some great support from musicians over the course of the Confessions of an Ageing Tennis player, in particular from Martin Milner, Robert Coyne and Derby’s very own Kevin Coyne.

So we’re putting together a track list of all our favourite tennis-inspired musin in time for our launches in Nottingham and Liverpool this month and would love to know which music reminds you of all things tennis!

Any tracks which summon up the spirit of tennis? Of long summer days? Of or the Grand Slams in Wimbledon, Paris, New York or Melbourne? We’d love to know!

Recognise your achievements in the Ageing Tennis Player Wall of Infamy!

Out today! We are now offering all Confessions of an Ageing Tennis Player supporters your very own Ageing Tennis Player (ATP) certificate which demonstrates your achievements at one of the world’s Grand Slam tournaments – and gives you the opportunity to share your achievement on the ATP Wall of Infamy.

The examples below are for Wimbledon, but they can of course be amended for any Grand Slam of your choice: Paris, New York, Tooting – whatever you fancy.

All you have to do is buy a copy of the book from our website, let us know who you beat, when and where – and a certificate of achievement will be wending its way to you any day now!

Thanks to Creative Triangle and M2Square in Leicester, the book has finally arrived! And it’s very shiny and looks completely gorgeous.
