Wimbledon fever hits Newbury as eager fans enjoy free open day at Newbury Tennis Club

Dozens of eager tennis fans were given a chance to try out their skills at an open day in Newbury recently.

And so, on Sunday, July 3 – while planned matches were being played at Wimbledon on ‘Middle Sunday’ for the first time – local players were taking to the courts at Newbury Tennis Club for a free taster day as part of the Great British Tennis Weekend.

Held at the club’s Poplar Place courts, the event ran from 10am until 1pm and gave visitors the opportunity to meet the team and other club members while enjoying a “high energy coaching experience”.
