GREG RUSEDSKI loved his debut at Hurlingham so much he's promised to play again next year.

The former British number one partnered Jeremy Bates in the legends doubles in the Fortis Tennis Classic at the prestigious Fulham venue last week.

And the Canadian-born left-hander has already planned to play in the pre-Wimbledon warm-up event again in 12 months' time.

He said: "I've been retired for two years now, but it was great to come out and play.

"It's a lovely setting to play tennis in a relaxed environment, and I look forward to playing again next year.

"All of the old boys have a great laugh together on and off court." ..SUPL:
