Marcus Willis has a message for Wimbledon - give me a wild card and I can give you more headlines.

The 26-year-old says he is still living in the whirlwind of the remarkable two weeks last summer that changed his life.

The story still seems too unlikely to be true. The tennis player who was about to give up, was persuaded to carry on by the girlfriend he met at a concert and came through seven matches to play Roger Federer on Centre Court.

"It felt like I was on court for about five minutes," Willis told Press Association Sport of his 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 second-round defeat.

"Time flies by when you're having fun - or being beaten up. It's crazy the more you think about it."
