There could well be more youngsters with tennis-star parents coming through.

Serbian former world number one Novak Djokovic's 10-year-old son Stefan has been playing for a while. He won a club tournament a couple of years ago and has been seen hitting with his dad on Wimbledon's practice courts.

American 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams' eldest daughter Olympia is a natural at the sport, according to her mum - but she prefers playing golf.

Meanwhile, tennis legends Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf made a conscious decision not to try to force their children into picking up the sport.

Graf - a 22-time major singles champion - said the pair had "never really introduced tennis so much in their lives".

Agassi wrote in his autobiography Open about how strict his own father was and said in 2024, external: "The idea that a parent would attach a child's right to be loved in this world based on their performance is a tragedy.

"What somebody needs to do to be pro at 16 years old is crazy, right?"
