Dad’s fury after tennis chiefs ban son, 9, from adult league after he beat man, 57, in straight sets

TENNIS chiefs barred a boy of nine from adult league matches after he won his first — with his dad blasting: “If a youngster has talent, surely we should let them play.”

Brit prospect Yannick Mendler-Jackson was selected for a weakened men’s first team and stunned the opposition by beating his 57-year-old opponent Gavin Smith in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3.
