‘It’s refreshing because you often see mismatched liaisons in this sport,’ a friend told Woman’s Day.

‘It’s funny to watch Ash practising at the big tournaments with her coach and see Garry pop up as the ball boy. He’ll skip back and forth, helping out between their rallies, encouraging her by passing on cricket scores or cracking jokes.

‘Without even meaning to, Garry helps Ash play her very best tennis, because there’s certainly no pressure from him.’
