Tennis stars’ new careers

PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring.

But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best…

Two years later, Andres Iniesta broke Dutch hearts in the World Cup final in South Africa.

And Alcaraz will be hoping for the same result this evening - after a repeat result in the Wimbledon final.

Alcaraz was left blushing by Croft twice in the trophy ceremony.
