Legendary tennis champ Pat Cash has opened up about his last game with Princess Diana shortly before her death – and sent words of encouragement to her troubled son, Prince Harry
Delighting female fans by throwing his used headbands into the crowd, master of the serve-and-volley game Pat Cash combined tennis with sex appeal – game, set and match.
Charming fans when he climbed into the stands to embrace his family after his 1987 Wimbledon win, he will be serving up his wisdom on TV and radio at this year’s championships, which start on June 30.
Laughing, as he recalls his victory clamber, dubbed the ‘Pat Cash Climb,’ so many winners have since replicated his move through the stands that a gate has been added to ease their path.
“I would like that gate to be named after me,” he jokes. “That would make sense. Maybe it should have a plaque commemorating my original climb back in ’87!”
While his agility may be depleted with age – he now qualifies for his free bus pass after turning 60 two weeks ago – Pat is still winning, although these days it’s in love.
Happily dating…
