James Doherty, 14, was a county tennis champion and one of Britain's most promising young players.
But his dreams were shattered last September after he suffered a heart attack and collapsed on the court and stopped breathing for 11 minutes.
Doctors thought he was unlikely to survive but against all odds he pulled through.
This Sunday James will get to fulfil his life long ambition by appearing on Centre Court as he takes on the prestigious role as official 'coin tosser' for the Men's Singles Final at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships.
James was given the honour after his name was put forward by the charity Cardiac Risk in The Young (CRY) to represent the charity.
James says: "I've always dreamt of being a professional tennis player and playing at Wimbledon would have been the ultimate. That's obviously not going to happen now but an experience like this is the next best thing and a dream come true."
