## Resource

Wimbledon is days away and ATP pro Marcus Willis is ready. After strong results at Queen's and Eastbourne, Marcus sits down with his mate Dave to break down his grass court prep, how his new/old doubles partnership is taking shape, and what life genuinely looks like when you're living out of a suitcase on the Tennis Tour. Plus — the boys have a new game. Dave reads out a completely made-up player name and Marcus has to build their entire back story on the spot. It goes exactly as well as you'd expect.
