Lewis Burton - "The Model" Tennis Player

Tennis fans will know Lewis Burton as a former British tennis player who reached the final of the Wimbledon boys doubles in 2010.

Non-tennis fans will know Lewis as the boyfriend of TV presenter Caroline Flack when she tragically died in February 2020 at the age of 40.

In this episode of Control the Controllables, Lewis looks back on his tennis career which saw him reach a high of 218 in doubles and 626 in singles. He won 26 ITF pro circuit doubles titles and qualified for the Wimbledon Men´s Doubles, before retiring two years later at just 22 years of age.

Lewis discusses the impact tennis has had on his life and how it helped him as he moved into the modelling and business world, as well as dealing with the immense pain and grief that comes with losing someone you love.

Join us for our First Live Show in London!

Control the Controllables is coming to London! We´re hosting our first LIVE SHOW on Friday 19th April 2024.

Join CTC Host Dan Kiernan and special guests as they debate one of the hottest topics in tennis right now: Is the new ‘Elite Tour’ good for tennis?

The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money.

Join us at Tileyard in London, as we discuss the biggest potential shake up we've ever seen in tennis, and what it means for those of us working in the sport.

Our amazing panel on the night will be:-
John Morris - Tennis super-agent at the heart of these discussions
Freddie Nielsen - 2012 Wimbledon doubles champion and Danish Davis Cup captain
Gaby Dabrowski - 2023 US Open champion and WTA Board Member
Calvin Betton - ATP doubles coach

If you can’t join us in person, don’t worry, you can still follow online live on the night and ask your questions directly to Dan and the panel.
