Mr Castle, 44, now a GMTV presenter, said the Conservative leader, three years his junior, "put up a very good show", despite losing in straight sets. He added: "He did send me a text during the week saying he was no Bjorn Borg but that he was looking forward to the game.

An onlooker said of the match: "Cameron displayed an awesome forehand, a weak backhand, but a swerving, left-handed serve that kicked like a mule!"

Mr Cameron's childhood home had a court and he also played the game while at Eton and Oxford.
