We were pleased to welcome British ladies number 1, Katie Boulter, to the club on Monday 11 November.
Katie, who’s an Age UK ambassador, got stuck right into our walking tennis sessions. It was brilliant to see her playing alongside our regulars, chatting away, and really getting involved. The energy, and weather, was fantastic!
We’re so grateful to Katie for taking time out of her busy schedule to join us. It means the world to our walking tennis players, and it’s great to see top athletes supporting inclusive sports initiatives like this.
A massive thank you also goes out to Age UK, the LTA, and the Tennis Foundation for their ongoing support. It’s partnerships like these that help make our community stronger and more inclusive.
After the session, Katie went off to the airport where she was heading to Malaga to meet up with the rest of team GB and play in the Billie Jean Cup. First up is Germany on Friday 15 November.
