Jason Goodall

Early years Goodall started playing tennis in Zambia, Central Africa, when he was nine years old. Upon returning to the United Kingdom three years later he was chosen to represent Great Britain (under-12 level) and continued to do so throughout his junior career up to, and including, under-21 level. He won several National Championships across all junior levels in both singles and doubles, and was a silver medalist in doubles at the under-14 European Championships.

He also went on to compete in all of the junior Grand Slam events on several occasions in both singles and doubles.

Tour career At age 18 Goodall was given a wildcard entry into the 1985 Wimbledon Championships where he met seventh seed Joakim Nyström in the first round. He was beaten by the Swede in four sets. He worked for numerous years for the Lawn Tennis Association in Great Britain with some of the best junior players of the time, and was also Great Britain's Fed Cup coach (now the Billie Jean King Cup).

As a player he was chosen to be part of the British team in two Davis Cup ties in 1989: away against Finland, which Britain won 4–1 and at home against Argentina, which the hosts lost 3–2.
