Judy Murray has shared an adorable letter she received from a ten-year-old who wants to be "just like" her when she grows up.
Naomi from Midsomer Norton penned the letter to Ms Murray on Thursday, and the coach responded today on Twitter.
In the handwritten letter, Naomi writes that her hobby is to play tennis, before scribbling out hobby and replacing it with 'passion'.
She says her goal is to be just like Ms Murray, before adding that she wants "more female players playing more often."
