Prince George and Princess Charlotte may have a new tennis practice partner waiting for them after their latest Wimbledon visit.

People reported that British tennis player Arthur Fery offered to hit with the young royals when they attended the Wimbledon men's final with Prince William and Princess Kate.

During the conversation, he told Kate that George and Charlotte could play tennis with him if they ever wanted to practice. Kate thanked him for the offer and congratulated him on his Wimbledon run.

Kate Had a Birthday Surprise for Fery

The exchange also happened on Fery's 24th birthday. People reported that Kate gave the British player a birthday card from the family after his breakout run at the tournament.

Fery had reached the Wimbledon semifinals for the first time, but his run ended before the final.
