Wilkinson, also well-known as a tennis pundit in the media, started the session by answering questions from the juniors relating to his career and on what the youngsters should be focusing at their age.

He provided them with some technical coaching points to work on with their coaches at the Chichester Tennis Academy. He organised some intensive drills to put them through their paces.

The session culminated with competitive match-play drills, which were thoroughly enjoyed by all those who took part.

Head coach at the club Justin Pollard said: “It was great that Chris could join us during one of our club performance squads – it has certainly helped to motivate the juniors and we very much look forward to inviting Chris down to the club again in the near future.”
