BBC tennis commentator Annabel has an admirable pedigree in the sport. After taking up tennis at the age of nine, Annabel became, at 15, the youngest Briton to play at Wimbledon for nearly 100 years. In 1984, she was a Wimbledon Junior Champion and a year later picked up her first senior tournament trophy in San Diego.
Annabel retired from the international circuit at 21, having established herself as British number one, ranked in the world's top 25. She has since carved a career in entertainment, particularly on television as a sports presenter. Annabel married former America's Cup yachtsman Mel Coleman in 1993, and the couple have three children.
