SYDNEY: Disgraced Australian tennis coach Gavin Hopper, whose clients included some of the biggest names in the sport, was jailed for three-and-a-half years yesterday for nine sex offences involving a teenage girl.
Hopper, a former coach to Grand Slam champions Monica Seles and Iva Majoli and leading men Mark Philippoussis and Tommy Haas, was found guilty on Monday of three counts of indecent assault and six of gross indecency involving a girl who attended a school where he taught in the 1980s.
