Trivia
For ‘unprofessional’ remarks on a social networking site, the Lawn Tennis Association terminated his seventeen-year-old sister Naomi’s financing in 2007. Their father, Simon, was so upset by the decision that he pulled Liam, who was thirteen at the time, from the LTA program. To afford their travel and coaching, Simon sold the family house and downsized to a small red brick terrace.
The LTA offered to restore their money two weeks later, but Simon declined, and they continued to practice at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy on the outskirts of Paris.
