Brian May – Tennis Hub Tag Overview
You've landed on the Brian May tag page. You might wonder why a rock‑star name shows up on a tennis site. The short answer: Brian May isn’t just a guitarist; he’s a longtime supporter of sport, especially tennis. Over the years he’s taken part in charity matches, spoken at tennis events, and even mentored young players in his hometown.
Who is Brian May?
Most people know Brian May as the lead guitarist of Queen. He’s famous for his epic solos, his PhD in astrophysics, and his love of animals. What many don’t realise is that he also loves a good game of tennis. In the 1990s he played in a celebrity charity tournament to raise funds for cancer research. That event got a lot of press and put his name on the tennis radar.
Beyond the occasional match, May has spoken at tennis clubs about the mental side of sport. He says the focus you need for a guitar solo is the same focus you need for a tight serve. Those talks have been recorded and shared on our site, which is why the tag shows up on several of our posts.

Queen’s guitarist says the Bohemian Rhapsody riff remains awkward onstage because it was written on piano, not guitar. The octave-based pattern feels unnatural under the fingers, and the pressure of a show finale makes it tougher. His admission adds a human twist to a player often seen as unflappable, even as rock guitar evolved around him in the late ’70s.
