Keely Hodgkinson for sure.Has the UK got a sporting Golden Girl at the moment?
Because there's no-one else, I'd guess. At least in singles tennis. Let's be honest, she's won one more major than Tim Henman ever did, and he was the face of British tennis for over a decade.Nothing against the girl but, apart from being easy on the eye and lucking out in one tournament, why the fuck is she front and centre so often in the news? Bang average tennis player.
She's had more coaches than National Express.
Suppose it's modern "Journalism"

Got to win something though or he's not going to be higher profile than her. She's also got a better record than him in every major except the Australian Open, although other than the US Open, neither seem to have done particularly amazingly. Hasn't she had a lot of injuries though?Jack Draper is about to move into the Men's Top 5.

She's literally on BBC Sport every week, playing, injured or having her nails done.Not seen her on the news for ages.

Comparing a club to an individual is a bit silly. Not like you to be a contrary.Based on that it’s really not that much is it ? Before today the last story was 25th April and scattered every now and then before that.
Championship football clubs get more coverage .
Most of the injuries are in her head.Got to win something though or he's not going to be higher profile than her.

We had a few in ladies singles and men’s doubles. Women mainly in the sixties with Wade in 1977 Wimbledon.Other than Murray she's our only grand slam winner in about half a century isn't she?
Exactly. In tennis and golf you can win a bunch of tournaments but the majors are the only thing that really matters to the general public and hence the media.Takes a lot to win a grand slam, she did well I am not surprised the media love her.
