The 'Willis Effect' trebles the number of juniors at Warwick Boat Club Tennis Camp

After playing Roger Federer aka The GOAT (*) on the centre court at Wimbledon, Marcus Willis is now inspiring a new generation of tennis players at Warwick Boat Club.  Given a hero's welcome by his legion of new fans, Marcus is using his new found fame to inspire more juniors to play tennis.  Given the chance to play against Marcus, the juniors were all impressed with his skills and enthusiasm.  He was delighted they are outdoors, exercising and learning a sport they can play for years to come.
