I was weaned on the likes of John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and Boris Becker," he penned in his Mail on Sunday column. "It was an era of cranky superstars and Robinson's orange cordial and linesmen/women who risked their lives as they crouched and waited for a ball to come towards them at 120mph."

Ryan kept the rest of the details under wraps for now, until he can tell his family, but he added that the "world feels lighter" for him. The broadcaster continued: "And it's just the accumulation of a lot of lovely things happening, and I just decided now is the time. More to follow in terms of details and all the rest of it. And by the more to follow, I mean I'll tell my family first. "It's a very exciting time to be alive.
