Meet Britain’s oldest amateur tennis ace who still serves up game, set and match -- aged 99. Spritely great-grandfather-of-five Tom Hicks lives and breathes the sport and still smashes aces and challenges line calls at his local club. The active pensioner continues to play tennis with friends three times a week, often sneaking in extra sessions to perfect his not so secret weapon - a backhand with spin. He has been a member of Notton Tennis Club near Wakefield for 40 years and makes the short eight-minute journey from his home all year round no matter what the weather.
