review

Pride Games teamed up once again with Northern Aces Tennis Group to bring you a tennis tournament on an international scale. Players flocked to the purpose-built indoor courts at Sports City Tennis Centre for singles and doubles matches served up over the smashing three day event.

There was some great on-court action - with lots of rollicking serves, lobs and the obligatory grunts and groans that made it as exciting to watch as we imagine it was to play!
