DAVID BECKHAM is one of sport's biggest sticklers for the phrase 'practice makes perfect' — and now he wants his son to heed that advice.

Becks' second son Romeo was invited to hit some tennis balls back and forth with Britain's biggest tennis star Andy Murray as he gets ready for the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.

The traditional Wimbledon warm-up event starts today, and if Murray gets off to a winning start in his first-round match against Nicolas Mahut, he can thank the Beckhams for a thorough practice session.

Romeo, 13, was shown the intricately trimmed lawns of Queen's as dad David made sure he got some thirst for the game from the top Scot.

Murray, 29, finished runner-up to Novak Djokovic in last week's French Open as the Serb did the Career Grand Slam at Rolland Garros.

But the Scot could hardly be in better form heading into the grass court season after progressing well on clay — widely regarded as his least favourite surface — with another assault on Wimbledon just over a fortnight away.

Murray has also re-hired coach Ivan Lendl, the mentor who led him to success at Wimbledon and the US Open, a month after splitting from French coach Amelie Mauresmo.

Romeo, like brothers Brooklyn and Cruz, has been on the books at Arsenal — but the two elder brothers were let go by the North London club.

So with Beckham Snr keen to keep his lads involved in sport, Romeo tried his hand at a few returns with Murray on the lawns of West London.

And Romeo showed a good eye for the game with some neat forehands as the world No 2 kept him on his toes.

Murray will bid for a record fifth title at Queen's this week.

The Beckhams also bumped into Aussie loudmouth star Nick Kyrgios in the bowels of the stadium.

Kyrgios posted a snap on Instagram after Beckham Jr asked him for a snap.

The 21-year-old said on social media: "Romeo Beckham asked for a photo with me, I asked for a photo with his dad #legend."
