Zovita Moon, 89, and Liz Simmons, 87, will step out on court at the All England Club today for the over-85s final of the British Masters Closed Grass Court Championships.

Despite Zovita breaking both wrists in the past and Liz overcoming a quadruple heart bypass, they are determined to do their best to ace the opposition at the Lawn Tennis Association event.

Paired up by Zovita's daughter, they entered expecting to have to battle through the heats.
