BOTLEY’S Olivia Jagger shared a court with tennis stars Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.

The Oxford High School pupil, 14, was among the ball boys and girls at the O2 Arena, London after seeing off 2,500 other children in a national competition.

“It was really good and really surreal to be on the court with the top eight players in the world,” said Jagger – who appeared in front of 35,000 spectators a day and was on court for Federer’s final.

“Being on court for the Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal game was amazing. The crowd just went completely mental.

“When I ran on to court for that game and the crowd was that loud it was really good.

“I’ll never forget it and I think I might disguise myself and try and do it again next year because you’re not allowed to do it more than once.”
