An already good week for Neal Skupski will get even better on Tuesday when he accepts a longtime invitation to play padel with Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool’s training ground.
Reds supporter Skupski, one of Britain’s Davis Cup heroes from Sunday night, is lined up to meet Klopp on the padel court at the club’s Kirkby HQ, and watch the team train. Manager Klopp and several members of his staff are racket sports enthusiasts and have had a court installed for the squad to use.
Skupski and his brother Ken, who is also his coach, were first invited when Liverpool assistant manager Pep Lijnders came to Wimbledon last summer as a spectator.
