Family Fanzone Day

Beat the Coach: Our tennis professionals are putting themselves on the line to see if you have what it takes to beat them in a mini tennis match! Will you grind it out from the back or try serving & volleying?

Target Practice: How accurate can you be? Are you able to land a tennis ball on a sixpence? We will have a series of targets both big & small, high & low to see how accurate you can be with a racket & ball.

Fastest Serve: Sam Groth holds the World Record for the fastest recorded serve in world tennis at a staggering 163.7mph. We will have our very own speed gun which will record your fastest effort! Will you have the fastest serve at the W100?

Skillz Zone: You may have heard of freestyle football but we will have our own section of freestyle tennis where you can practice your tap ups, round the world and maybe even a tweener!

Pickleball: You will have the opportunity to have a try at one of the fastest growing sports on the planet, pickleball. A racket & ball sport which is popular equally with both tennis & non-tennis players. There will be a court & expert on hand to give you a go!
