Olly Paton

Born in Scotland, Olly is an avid fan and analyst of the game, who is quickly growing his profile within tennis media. His first experience of the sport was watching Rafael Nadal on TV, and the Spaniard has become one of his idols (with Olly trying, badly, to imitate Rafa’s signature forehand on the court). Olly has a very popular tennis account on X - @Olly_Tennis_, updating fans with the latest news, information, and enticing content, and has attended multiple ATP Finals, as well as Roland Garros and Wimbledon. A dream of his is to attend the other two Majors, and complete the set.
