Philip Brook – Tennis and Maths As I take on the role of Chairman of The All England Lawn Tennis Club, home of Wimbledon – arguably the finest tennis tournament in the world – I have had many moments of reflection on being asked to take on this amazing opportunity and thought ‘Why me? How did I end up here?’ I am not sure I have very good answers to my questions,but I do know that I would not have been where I am today had it not been for an innocuous‘flyer’which landed on the doormat at my parents’house many years ago offering a week of free tennis lessons. At the time, Pauline Whetton, a local tennis coach was looking for new junior players to join her programme at Rastrick Tennis Club. At the same time, my brother David and I were in our early teens, sport mad, but had not tried tennis.This seemed like an opportunity too good to miss. Pauline had an infectious enthusiasm for the sport and a great ability to teach. A week later I was hooked. David took up golf. From being a teenager, my mother would say ‘the two things that Philip is most interested in are tennis and maths’. She was probably right. By the time I was looking to go to university my tennis and my maths were both quite good, and I was encouraged to apply to Cambridge. Back then, Fitzwilliam had a great reputation for sport and seemed to be the natural College to which to apply. I was lucky enough to win a place to Fitz and in 1974 went up to Cambridge to study mathematics. The maths was tough, but Fitzwilliam was definitely a good choice of College. I was very fortunate to be there at the same time as both Alastair Hignell and Eddie Butler, two young men each of whom would go on to do great things in rugby, firstly as international players for their respective countries and then in the media. Tennis at Cambridge was definitely an important release from the study books and it certainly kept the team busy, practising during the week, but particularly at weekends when we played matches. However, not all was well with Cambridge tennis at that time. While we had a very strong team, we had almost no funding from the University to help with the costs of running the club.The lack of funding became critical during my second year, to the extent that, as well as playing the tennis, the team would take responsibility for buying, preparing and tidying up lunch and tea each time we played a match.That was before we took the opposing team to ‘The Fort St George’ for a post- match review over a few beers.Thankfully, the situation eased very considerably in my final year when Sir Geoffrey Cass took over responsibility for Cambridge tennis and somehow managed to find money to meet the day-to-day costs of running the club and for essential repairs and maintenance. Geoffrey and I became great friends that year and remain so to this day. One of the added attractions of being on the varsity tennis team 9
