Judy Murray encourages more women to take up tennis

Judy Murray, the mother of British tennis number one Andy Murray, has been in Birmingham to encourage more women to take part in sport.

She's been at the Edgbaston Priory Club, teaching a course designed specifically to encourage women to pick up a racket and play.

There's been a 30% decline in those getting involved in the game since 2005.

The Aegon Classic tournament is currently underway at the venue with some of the world's best female players taking part.

Judy is hoping to inspire other women to play with at least one 'She Rallies Ambassador' in every county within three years.

Who knows? The next British female Wimbledon Champion could be discovered very soon.
