How many tennis players does it take to change a tyre?

Carrie Dover has written to Audlem Online with the following: "A little while since my last note to the site but something has just come to my attention that needs an airing -

all the stick we ladies get for our car skills and I have just found out it takes two of our local male(!) tennis players to change a tyre on a car! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Will they ever be able to step on court again without skirts?"

As your Audlem Online correspondent also needed help this week while changing a tyre, there was a moment's hesitation before this story was published. But as he hasn't played tennis for a few years, it couldn't have been him! So, in the interests of free speech, the story has been published.
