A young tennis player from Kent has become the youngest ever winner of a national award.
12-year-old Ben Gusic-Wan from Canterbury won the Lawn Tennis Association's Boy's Player of the Year award.
The announcement was made in a virtual ceremony hosted by Leon Smith, the LTA's Head of Men's Tennis.
Ben was victorious at the Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships in Florida last year, winning a bowl of oranges as a prize.
The last British player to win that tournament was a young Andy Murray.
Ben's coach, Simon Grieve, became a national finalist in the Performance Coach of the Year category, thanks to his work with the young player.
Another winner from Kent was Emma Raducanu who was awarded Girl's Player of the Year at the LTA awards.
