Born in Worcestershire, Bovett was educated at Harrow High School.[1] In the mid-1960s, after being unable to secure special coaching from the LTA, he emigrated to Australia to work as a freelance photographer.[2] He secured a scholarship in 1966 to Pan American College (Texas), transferring from there to the University of Houston, where he met his wife Karen.[1] He featured in main draws at the Australian and US national championships while based in both countries.[1] A longtime resident of the Houston area, he was a 2014 inductee into the Texas Tennis Hall of Fame.[3]
