Former Wimbledon star and current commentator, Annabel Croft has had to deal with sudden heartbreak with her husband Mel Coleman passing away only weeks after a Stage Three cancer diagnosis.

"Tragic. So sad, always watched her at Wimbledon, amazing lady, so sad, heartbreaking, thoughts with Annabel and all family and loved ones," one posted.
