from Thomas Hughes Just a couple of bits and pieces..... being soundly thrashed playing tennis, having my young teenage hubris well and truly punctured! It was amazing. the way he would manoeuvre me around the court. He would not really bother running after the ball if i managed a good shot, because most of the time he was just putting the ball in an awkward spot and making me do all the scampering. Even when i was a bit older, and joined in his doubles he was good, brilliant at how he could place the ball - rarely making any mistakes or errors
