Lawn Tennis Association 'missed chances' to stop abuse

The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) missed repeated warnings about bullying and sexual abuse at one of the UK's top tennis centres, an inquiry has found.

Daniel Sanders, Wrexham Tennis Centre's former head coach, was jailed in 2017 after admitting eight counts of sexual activity with a player younger than 16.

The LTA was found to have acted "inadequately" before he was arrested and failed to recognise safeguarding concerns, the report said.

It said that lessons have been learned.
