‘She Said Yes!’ Overnight Wimbledon Star Marcus Willis Proposes To Gf Jenny Bates
Remember Marcus Willis, a British tennis player who turned into a Wimbledon star overnight by his and her girlfriend’s amazing story. So now the two have got engaged.
The handsome tennis star took to Instagram to share the news with his 11,600 followers, in which he snapped a selfie with his stunning fiancee brandishing her stunning ring.
The 25-year-old sportsman could not resist beaming as he added a caption on the shot reading: ‘She said Yes!!! Couldn’t be happier. #onfire #engaged #willyonarampage’
It was a dream come true for both Marcus and his girlfriend who played against the legend of the game Roger Federer on the center court in front of 15000 fans in the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world SW19.
Marcus, 25, a tennis coach who earns £30 an hour teaching under-eights was thinking about giving up the sport before he met Jenny in a London night club in February.She convinced the former junior talent to give it one last shot after he had failed to qualify for Wimbledon for the previous six years in a row.
And then like a fairy tale story he qualified for the main draw and then played his first round match against Lithuanian Ricardas Berankis ranked 54 in the world to his 772 and defeated him in straight sets.
After becoming a hit with the British public, bets are also being taken that he could appear in a forthcoming series of I’m A Celebrity or Celebrity Big Brother.
Marcus admits in his glossy magazine interview that after ‘the best four months of his life’ he is not sure what the future holds but ‘as long as I have Jenny, I am the happiest man in the world’.
