Ollie walks us through his journey into tennis, how his path crossed with Marcus, and what life looks like on and off the court. But behind the outgoing personality, the thriving coaching career and a loving young family Ollie was harbouring a dark struggle with his mental health. Ollie opens up about the secret battle he was fighting behind closed doors, proving that you never truly know what someone is carrying—no matter how bright they seem on the outside.

Wimbledon is here. And this year it's personal. Marcus Willis ATP 65 and his mate Dave break down the most storyline-loaded fortnight in tennis — from the comeback nobody saw coming to the farewell that deserved better. Serena Williams is back at SW19 for the 22nd time, armed with a wildcard and a point to prove — or as she put it, absolutely nothing to prove. "I don't need to win. I've won more than most people have in their whole lives." Then there's Dan Evans. Evo played his final singles match as a professional in the sweltering heat of Roehampton qualifying — and lost 7-5, 6-0. No wildcard. No fairytale send-off. Just one of British tennis's great characters going out quietly, with his head high. Andy Murray? He swapped rackets for a clipboard. The two-time champion is now part of Jack Draper's coaching squad as British No. 1 takes on sixth seed Taylor Fritz in a mouth-watering first-round clash. Meanwhile Emma Raducanu could face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka as early as the third round. No pressure. Plus the full Brit rundown — Boulter, Norrie, Fearnley, Fery, Klugman, Swan, the qualifiers who made it through, and every name flying the flag this fortnight.
