In her new autobiography, Knowing the Score: My Family and Our Tennis Story, the star writes about her family's incredible achievements and the challenges along the way, and admitted that she never would have thought Andy and his brother, Jamie, would become tennis champions. "I never would have imagined when they started playing balloon tennis over our sofa in the front room when they were small that they’d end up winning Wimbledon titles… for me it was all about trying to encourage them and help them improve. But it’s a good story. You can dream big and work hard and believe in yourself, and actually anything is possible."
