Friday Boss: Michael Downey of Lawn Tennis Association

Today

Available for over a year

Why is Britain so bad at producing home grown tennis talent? Andy Murray, for example, was born in Scotland but whisked off to Spain at a very young age. The last decent player the British system produced was Tim Henman, so how can that be given that the LTA is awash with the cash provided by Wimbledon? Friday boss is the new LTA supremo, the Canadian Michael Downey.
