Tennis Scotland has selected cancer support charity Maggie's as its partner for 2018, in memory of coach Annette Fox.

Ms Fox was a loved and respected member of the tennis community, and was named Tennis Scotland Coach of The Year in 2015.

The mother-of-two passed away in March 2017 aged 44.

Ms Fox and her family were supported by Maggie's Edinburgh over the course of seven years.

"I know Annette would be really touched that Tennis Scotland and Maggie's are working together in her memory," said Ms Fox's husband, Pete Fox.

"Tennis was such a huge part of our life with Annette and Maggie's, as always, gave us such love and support when we needed it most.

"The partnership is the most fitting tribute to Annette."

The partnership was launched on Thursday, alongside the launch of a new competition at Gullane Tennis Club in memory of Ms Fox, which will run for the first time in 2018.

Maggie's Edinburgh Centre head Andrew Anderson said: "I am delighted Gullane Tennis Club and Tennis Scotland have chosen to support Maggie's in memory of Annette.

"We at Maggie's remember Annette with great fondness and admiration.

"She and her family were always a pleasure to have in the centre.

"Their determination, honesty and closeness as a family was a privilege to be part of."
