The trip includes 6 hours coaching a day, a 45-minute private lesson, tennis clinics, doubles and match play workshops, a pro-amateur tournament playing with a pro and against a pro, speed serve competitions and the use of the latest tennis equipment.

The 7-night break costs from £475pp – with £130 supplement for the tennis week - and includes flights, transfers, half board 4-star accommodation, sailing and windsurfing tuition and childcare for the over 2’s. Flights depart 12th May, 2010.
