THIS is the time of the year when millions of us become armchair athletes and tennis experts. Yes, Wimbledon fortnight is here again.

We will all no doubt be cheering on our individual favourites, talking knowledgeably to family and friends about the players’ strengths, weaknesses, games and techniques.

However, if you’ve been inspired by the sport, it’s never too late to take it up – there are indoor tennis centres and private clubs around Bolton and our parks have some great, free facilities.

Just put your trainers on and some comfortable clothing, and get on the courts for some fitness fun!
