An eight-year-old tennis fan has been given the chance to play against his idol Andy Murray.
Dylan Martin-Harley met the Wimbledon champion at Queen's Club thanks to Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, a charity which grants wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.
Dylan, from Windsor, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April 2013 and underwent surgery the day after his diagnosis. He lost the sight in his left eye and was left with tunnel vision in his right.
Make-A-Wish arranged for Dylan to travel to west London with his family in a limousine. When they arrived at Queen's Club they were greeted by Murray's Davis Cup team-mate Ross Hutchins, before Dylan took to the court with his hero.
Murray said: "I have met a few Make-A-Wish children over the years and I always find it an inspiring experience. It was great to meet Dylan and his family. "
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
