| Bio | Denise has been involved with tennis from a young age and during the ten year period from 1980 to 1990 she was consistently in the top 12 players in Great Britain. In 1990 she hung up her professional racket for the final time and opted down the path of officiating. After many years refereeing across the UK Miss Parnell gained her Silver Badge in 2000 and was finally awarded her Gold badge in officiating in 2006. In 2011 Denise was awarded the LTA's Official of the Year, an honour bestowed on very few officials in their career. ITF Gold Badge certified official Denise Parnell taking up her post as referee at the AEGON Classic event being held at the Edgbaston Priory Club, Birmingham. She said: "I work about 20 weeks a year as an official. Predominantly I’m a referee however I do work occasionally as a Hawkeye official at some of the overseas grand slams. I really enjoy the variation in the roles. Working with different organisations under different employers keeps me on my toes and means every week is different." In addition to her officiating work, Denise also works at the AELTC between Easter and May each year training the Data Entry Personnel for the Wimbledon Championships. "I have done this since 1990 and really enjoy it. All the people we train must have a background in tennis. We train four people a day for around 8 to 10 weeks." Manchester based Denise is a keen all round sports person, enjoying skiing, hill walking and outdoor pursuits. However her first love will always be tennis, she has been a member of the AELTC club since 2007 and really enjoys the opportunity to pick up a racket and get back to her playing roots. In 2017, as the assistant referee along with grand slam supervisor Pam Whytcross attended Court 18 during the Mladenovic vs Riske match due the players' complaint about the condition of the grass. They inspected it, and in their experienced view judged it playable as per normal,” their statement read. |
