Hide AdGreg, aged 34, declared it the ideal breeding ground for a future Wimbledon champion.
He said: "This place is a testament to the dedication of the committee, they are the champions today.
"It's a great venue and the people here have proved they can organise things. It's perfect for youngsters learning tennis.
"The younger you get them involved the better chance they have. Why not Bradfield? Champions come from all over.
