T&RA INTERVIEW ANSWERS

How do you think your opponents would describe you?

Intense, determined & gritty.

What are your preferred pre-and-post match habits or routines?

Pre-match I like to shower and stretch before starting a 10-15min warm up in the gym. Post-match depends on how the match went! But hopefully a win and some more stretching before the next round is required.

If someone gave you £1,000,000 to improve the game of Real Tennis, where would you invest it?

I think that approaching golf/country clubs who typically don’t struggle for land is a good strategy. They also have an existing member base and the seasons of the two sports are opposite, so I think that they would compliment each other well.
