Hi Team Stony Tennis,
There is a saying that tennis goes way beyond the court, that the friendships, experiences, and adventures it brings can shape a lifetime. Yesterday, we got to see that magic happen in real time.
With the wonderful help of Coach Shruthi, I had the absolute privilege of taking three of our junior club members to Wimbledon. None of them had ever been before, and to say the excitement was through the roof would be an understatement!
We managed to pack a lifetime of memories into a single, sun-soaked day. Here are a few of the highlights from our grand tour:
Even better? Her coach invited our group to become their official "support crew" for their match on Court 2. We cheered them on loud and proud, and they won in spectacular style!
"This was the best day ever." — One of our junior members on the way home.
Hearing those words made the whole trip. These kids will remember this day for the rest of their lives, and I feel incredibly privileged to be able to provide them with this experience. Our goal at the club isn't just to teach proper forehands and backhands; it's to inspire the next generation and show them where this beautiful sport can take them.
Thank you to Coach Shruthi, to our incredible juniors for being such fantastic ambassadors for our club, and to all of you for being part of a community that makes journeys like this possible.
Happy tennising!

We managed to pack a lifetime of memories into a single, sun-soaked day. Here are a few of the highlights from our grand tour:
- Walk in the Footsteps of Giants: We explored the entire grounds, from a tour around Centre Court and Court 1 to sitting on the historical Court 18—the exact spot where John Isner defeated Nicolas Mahut in the longest tennis match in history.
- The Fun Zone: The kids got to test their own skills and burn off some energy playing the interactive games.
- Henman Hill Atmosphere: We soaked up the iconic hill vibes while cheering on Britain's own Arthur Fery as he defeated Flávio Cobolli in straight sets.
