Tennis ace Felicity Thomas, who has travelled the world playing the sport she loves, is now officially number one in the world.

The East Glos member has been ranked ITF world number one over-75 doubles tennis player.

The 77-year-old, who lives in Charlton Kings with her husband Gordon, didn’t start taking the sport seriously until the late 1960s but has certainly made up for lost time.

She started playing tennis for Gloucestershire in the mid-70s and enjoyed some success, but it was once she started playing veterans’ age group tennis that her career really took off.

She won her first vets’ tournament for over-55s at Eastbourne and since then she has never looked back, winning titles for fun as she became a multiple British age group champion at singles and doubles.
