Mark Ferguson has a job that makes him the envy of tennis fans the world over — spending every day of the Wimbledon fortnight up close to the action as the world’s finest players are put through their paces.
But Mark isn’t necessarily concentrating on the players… in fact, his job is pretty much watching the grass grow.
Mark is the General Manager of Research at the Sports Turf Research Institute, based at Bingley, West Yorkshire, and responsible for helping not just Wimbledon but sports grounds across the country be the very best they can be.
