A TEEN tennis star who 'died' for 15 minutes after suffering a massive heart attack during a game has stunned doctors by making a miracle recovery.

Lucky James Doherty, 13, is one of the youngest people in the UK to have survived a cardiac arrest.

Heart attack ... but James came round in hospital

James was given CPR after collapsing in agony while playing at the Hazelwood Tennis Academy in Enfield, north London, on September 8.

Miracle

Thankfully dad-of-three Alan Percy saw him fall and rushed over to resuscitate him despite having no first aid training.

He was quickly helped by fitness trainer Karen Browne and the two of them worked to bring James back to life.

The teenager's mum Sarah said: ''The doctor who treated him said he was unique and it was extraordinarily miraculous that he survived.

"I've been told that after your heart stops for more than ten minutes your chances of survival are really remote.''
