Wimbledon's myth of elitism
Many were the jibes when Boris Johnson announced that he was 'thrilled' to be back on the tennis court in 2021 as lockdown restrictions eased. 'Bloody posho poncing about on a tennis court' or 'how typical' were probably some of them. Sir Keir, naturally, made sure that he was photographed on a football pitch on the same day. But here's the thing: these days, playing tennis isn't posh. Yes, chins love to watch it and play it – helped by tennis courts of their own – but the playing of tennis has become democratised. Reports of next-gen community tennis clubs springing up all over the country have become widespread, according to the Financial Times. And yet tennis has always had a class problem. Long viewed as a pastime solely for the aristocracy and middle classes, tennis has good reason to be associated with the elite: think ice cubes rattling away in the clubhouse, membership at vast prices, immaculate tennis whites, lots of free time during the day. It's hardly surprising that as a sport it produces feelings of revolutionary ire in some people. To add to this, the major tennis tournaments played in this country – Queen's and Wimbledon – are profitable because they play on these associations of elitism and old-school money: strawberries and cream, Panama hats, dress codes. Crowds love Wimbledon not just for its tennis but also for its raging gatekeeping snobbery, while the Queen's Club doesn't have to do much more than put up a few cordons to give people the feel that some necessary exclusion is going on somewhere. But if British tennis tournaments play on their toff overtones for profit, the pros themselves tell a totally different story. British players who qualify for Wimbledon are anything but posh – and proud of it. Take Liam Broady and Dan Evans, both top-ranking British players, who have risen through the gritty ranks of the tour on little to no financial recompense, a lot of sweat and some long-suffering parents willing to drive them around the country at weekends. Broady, the cheeky chappie from Stockport who delighted the centre court crowd back in 2023 by telling his mum to 'chill out' because he had 'already won 80 grand', briefly became something of a national treasure. Dan 'Evo' Evans, the self-styled bad boy from Birmingham, lived with a host family in Loughborough at the start of his career – far from manicured private courts and a clubhouse. Andy Murray, arguably Britain's most successful tennis player, began his ascent on the drizzly tennis courts of Dunblane, a town not known for its tennis culture. When this country did, finally, produce a posh tennis player in the shape of privately educated Old Dragon Tim Henman, the media went wild for his Oxfordshire middle-class credentials. At the peak of his career, Henman inspired public frenzy as the Daily Mail and other titles went wild for his inscrutable, Panama hat-wearing father Tony, his lovely Pony Club wife Lucy, and – rather mysteriously – his looks. The British love tennis precisely because it is a familiar choreography of our class struggle, kept within the tramlines But I always felt rather sorry for Tim Henman, a man who came to represent far more than the tennis he played: a rare beast who elided the public perception of tennis with his ambition. In 1999, Pat Cash, earring-sporting Australian and former Wimbledon champion, declared that Henman would never make it because he was 'the product of the middle classes' and 'didn't have the stomach for a fight'. How very unfair of Mr Cash – but also, as it turns out, so canny of him to underline the nation's hopeful obsession with Henman as our desire to see sport and player reunited in the same class bracket. So why the social dissonance between the sport and its professionals? Who gains? Certainly not the professionals, who bemoan the sport's middle-class straitjacket – and certainly not the Lawn Tennis Association, who have long disputed the 'white, male and stale' perceptions of the sport. This 'negative' view, they claim, deters young players coming up through community outreach schemes, leading the Guardian to state that there 'will never be a Marcus Rashford of tennis'. In his book A People's History of Tennis, David Berry attempts to counter the monocultural record of the sport, arguing for its radical nature that has always attracted maverick visions of femininity and politics – pointing to the socialist tennis movement of the 1970s, when there was briefly a 'Worker's Wimbledon'. Personally, I'm not convinced that we want tennis to be radical. The British love tennis precisely because it is a familiar choreography of our class struggle, kept within the tramlines. Boris knew it when he lumbered onto a tennis court that day – and we know it when we switch the box on for Wimbledon. As a social game, we're always at love-all without an umpire.

Venice is a city of love and menace
Jeff Bezos has brought much tat into the world, along with the undoubted convenience of Amazon's services. But in at least one respect, he is a man of good taste. In choosing Venice to plight his troth with his lovely bride Lauren Sanchez at the weekend, Bezos picked the best possible location: La Serenissima is indeed a veritable miracle. It is a logic-defying wonder, and despite my frequent visits, I still don't understand the physics of its construction. How can a city of hundreds of heavy palaces and churches, resting on petrified wooden piles driven into mud, continue to exist centuries after the Venetian lagoon was first settled by terrified refugees? Those who founded the city were of course fleeing the fury of invading barbarian hordes of Huns and Visigoths laying waste to the rest of northern Italy. It was probably that same remoteness of the 100-plus islands that saved Venice for civilisation. Those refugees evolved from precarious fishermen into a magnificent maritime empire, based on a miraculous floating city that is still – I make no apologies for claiming, though it is hardly an original suggestion – the most gorgeous and romantic place in the world. How can anyone resist a city without cars, where water rules supreme and, instead of buses or Tube trains, you take a speedy vaporetto to your desired destination? Just to be afloat here soothes the most jangled of nerves. I first visited Venice aged five. The only memories I have of that trip are of a drunken British sailor from a visiting warship reeling around St Mark's Square yelling 'Fred!' and the coloured glass globules adorning the wrought-iron gateway into Peggy Guggenheim's gallery on the Grand Canal. Peggy, like Bezos, was just one of many super-rich celebrities lured to Venice by its glitz. Since its empire declined from the 16th century onwards, La Serenissima has depended on tourism and its reputation – appropriately for Casanova's home town – as the place to go with your lover. I have been to Venice perhaps 30 times since that first visit. I have my own favourite modest hotel tucked away near St Mark's and would stay there for good if I could. Yes, I know all the clichés: Venice is thick with touts and pickpockets; it stinks in summer; it's overpriced and overwhelmed with day-trippers from the giant cruise ships that are going to finally capsize the sinking city; Venice is dying with a shrinking population the size of Brighton and Hove. Despite all these half-truths, 'trotz alledem' as the Germans say, I would like to end my days there. Many have done precisely that, both in fact and fiction. Just as some places – like Rome and Paris – are cities of life, so others like Venice and Vienna are cities of death, shaded by gloom and giving off a faint air of dissolution. Wagner died here, in the superb palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi on the Grand Canal which now houses the Casino, and Browning passed in another, the Ca' Rezzonico, acquired by his son Pen thanks to his marriage to an American heiress. I never see the ATM in the corner of St Mark's Square without her jibe ringing in my ears: 'That will be 150 euros for services not rendered' In fiction, the writer Gustav Aschenbach found both lust and death in Venice, via the pen of Thomas Mann – a novella memorably realised on screen by Luchino Visconti in Dirk Bogarde's finest performance. My three favourite Venetian films are all about death, the other two being Don't Look Now, a macabre tale by Daphne du Maurier, which includes the most erotic encounter ever seen in a mainstream movie, and The Comfort of Strangers, based on an Ian McEwan novel which sees a sinister Christopher Walken murderously obsessed with Rupert Everett. All these films mingle Eros with death and for me that is part of Venice's draw. You don't expect a honeymoon here to be entirely happy, as Mr John Cross discovered when he took his 60-year-old bride George Eliot there. For reasons still unexplained, young Mr Cross leapt from his hotel room into the Grand Canal and was fished out by gondoliers rather than perform his conjugal duty with the eminent novelist. A similar fate befell the great critic John Ruskin, who introduced Venetian architecture to the Victorian public. Ruskin was so shocked by the sight of his bride Effie Grey's pubic hair that it completely unmanned him (his only previous sight of a naked woman having been on classical statues). The marriage was later annulled due to non-consummation. The one time that I went to Venice with seduction specifically on my mind, fate also failed to deliver the anticipated outcome for me. To add insult to injury, the lady concerned asked me to pay her airfare home to Berlin. I never see the ATM in the corner of St Mark's Square without her jibe ringing in my ears: 'That will be 150 euros for services not rendered.' So if not romance, what is it that makes me adore the place? It is the mystery of this maze, and a definite air of menace. In the evenings, when the tourists have gone back to their ships and the shadows lengthen, you can wander alone and lose yourself in the heart of the labyrinth. There is a thrill in not knowing who or what will be around the next corner. And if it turns out to be a hideous knife-wielding dwarf in a red mac, a beautiful boy in a sailor suit or indeed Jeff Bezos – why, that would be exciting too.

Check your rare coins for penny design worth eye-watering £200k
There's a possibility your coin stash is worth an absolute fortune – but only if you own this unique penny. One avid collector shared more information on his TikTok Your coin collection is about to make you richer. It's no secret certain rare coins are worth more than others. There's often change which could make you a lot of money, especially if you take it to auction or flog it on eBay. Now did you know there's a penny estimated to be worth £200,000? Over on TikTok, one avid collector revealed the "intriguing" coin which could be lingering in your pocket. The @coincollectingwizard boasts a mega 294,000 followers where he shares the most unique designs to look out for. Just previously, he mentioned the valuable change that could make you rich. And just a few days ago, he shared the £200,000 coin from 1952 which is the "rarest proof penny of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies". In the video, which scooped 500 likes and dozens of comments, he said: "This penny is estimated to sell for £200,000 at auction, do you have one? This is a UK penny from 1952, this intriguing proof coin is the rarest proof penny of the entire series of copper and bronze pennies." He continued: "The existence of this unique 1952 proof penny was not known publicly until its initial appearance at numismatic auction in October of 1997, some 45 years after it was struck. The British numismatic world was astonished to see this coin appear and in proof quality as this was not known to exist. "The 1952 proof penny remains an enigma as the only unique proof striking of a pre-decimal penny of the 20th century. It is perhaps understandable that George VI in 1952 proof penny remains a unique piece as the King died very early that year passing away on the February 6. It will go up for auction and is estimated to reach £200,000 if not more." Since it was posted on social media, it garnered a lot of attention from collectors who claimed to own the same coin. Others described the design as "nice", while others asked for advice on how to flog the coin. According to experts, the 1952 penny is a unique and highly valuable coin. Although no ordinary circulation pennies were struck in that year, a single proof penny was made. But it was not known to the public until 1997, where it appeared at auction. And today, this coin is dubbed the "numismatic unicorn". It's popular among collection due to its unique status and the fact it was struck during a period of royal transition – when King George VI died and Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne. It features a profile of King George VI on one side with the words "GEORGIVS VI D: G: BR: OMN: REX FIDEI DEF". Meanwhile, on the reverse the words "ONE PENNY 1952" is written with Britannia seated. Just last year, the same coin turned heads among collectors where it was also worth the same price tag. Think you have one of these coins in your wallet? Leave us a comment below!
