Former World No 1 tennis player John McEnroe has teamed up with BNP Paribas to launch the We Are Tennis Fan Academy, the world's first school for tennis fans.

The initiative aims to recruit and train tennis 'super supporters' for various tournaments and competitions hosted by BNP Paribas. McEnroe, who'll hand pick the participants, commented 'This project will be very positive for tennis in general, but also for players who like to feel supported, and above all for fans who will be able to support tennis like never before'.
