Fulfilling his duties as a good Brit, there is a person who becomes particularly active during Wimbledon weeks. Adam Jones, a 27-year-old player who goes unnoticed by both the spotlight and fans, plays a crucial role in the preparation of top tennis players such as Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner.

"I'm living the dream, but in a different way," said Adam, who focuses all his attention starting from the week before at the All England Tennis Club, sharing the court and preparing many of the world's top players to face the third Grand Slam of the season.

Making his dream come true

"My mother saw me once training with Novak at Wimbledon, and that, for me, is one of my best memories in tennis. Even though we don't play a match, it's still amazing to say that I've trained with all these incredible guys," Jones confessed in an interview with The Times.

How much does he earn for sharing the court with the best?

"In 2022, when I started, I trained with Djokovic, Daniil Medvedev, and Casper Ruud, and my final hour was a set with Jannik Sinner. Sinner easily beat me 6-1 or 6-2. It's different with the ball pace and precision. They play by adjusting each shot close to the line constantly and don't hit too many short balls.

The top players kept asking me to come back, which is great. I must have been doing a good job not to lose too many balls." For this work, he earns £125 per day, which is around €150 per day, in addition to a contribution for food and the stringing of rackets, although they do not help with accommodation expenses.
