A YOUNG tennis player has received coaching tips from British number one Tim Henman.
Eight-year-old Jonathan Helm played on a specially-constructed grass court next to Nelson's Column, in London, with Henman and the former three times Wimbledon champion and television commentator Boris Becker.
The Stokesley Primary School pupil got the opportunity after making it through to the last 20 of the Ariel Tennis Ace competition.
The event - Britain's biggest search to find the next tennis star - attracted more than 10,000 hopefuls from all over the country.
His father, David Helm, said: "Jonathan has been playing for about a year.
"He goes to Tennis World, in Middlesbrough, for lessons and is a member of Stokesley Tennis Club. We took him along and he has just taken to it."
