  • Smash hit: The inaugural tennis festival.

    Abu Dhabi residents can lace up their trainers and look forward to a memorable day as Zayed Sports City (ZSC) host their Academy Tennis Festival on Friday.

    Running for the very first time, it’s an opportunity for friends and families to get together and play tennis between 15:00 and 18:00. Whether you’re a person who has never considered becoming a player or one that has a true love of the game, the free event caters to all abilities and ages.

    At the tennis clinics, a number of ZSC Academy’s professional coaches will be on hand, giving valuable tips and advice for those who want to grow within the game. Additionally, you can witness some exciting exhibition matches between ZSC coaches and players, including former World No.72 Peter Wessels.

    On top of that, there’s plenty to look forward to off the court. Free tennis lessons, electronics, ZSC vouchers and gifts can all the won, while the younger children can stay active on the bouncy castles. The venue are no strangers to the game.

    They are home to nine hard surface courts as well as the main stadium which will see the likes of World No.1 Andy Murray, 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafa Nadal and World No.3 Milos Raonic in action in the Mubadala World Tennis Championship later this month.

    With rugby, bowling, ice-skating, basketball and netball just a number of sports played at ZSC, officials are eager to show the positives of playing tennis at the state-of-the-art facility.
