Liv Rook is another of those players who backs up the point about the importance of family and how the LTA needs (IMO) to be far wider in their investment/support scope to foster a broader base that then feeds into itself..

Her dad is a full-time tennis coach and, although he's not Liv's coach, he says he's her chief hitting partner. (As well as advisor etc if she wants it). Having unlimited, top class hitting is a real luxury for many GB players who really struggle to find someone of their level just to play with, on a regular basis (for free).

THere's a nice photo of her and Aryana with their winners' cups (the GB girls are on the right of the photo - Aryana is the dark-haired girl and Liv the fairer one), and with the boys' winners:
