THE MAN at the top of British tennis, John Crowther, was in Ulverston this week to visit South Lakeland District Council's Ulverston Indoor Tennis Centre.
Crowther, who is chief executive of the Lawn Tennis Association, was paying his first visit to Cumbria to look at projects benefitting from £2 million investment in captial projects made over the past six years.
Since 1995, the number of junior and senior players joining Lawn Tennis Association affiliated tennis clubs in the county has almost doubled.
