Tennis great Todd Woodbridge suffered a shock heart attack aged 51 last week - and is now pleading with people to get their own health checks.
Former Australian doubles star Woodbridge remains active in retirement, regularly exercising and eating healthily. But the tennis commentator has revealed his shock after the incident that he has described as a 'wake-up call'.
Woodbridge, who won nine doubles titles at Wimbledon during a distinguished playing career, experienced severe chest pains in an episode that has been described as a 'mild heart-attack'. The incident has prompted Woodbridge to raise awareness after he became the latest high profile ex-athlete to suffer a heart attack.
