Game. Set. Match… and maybe a flat white afterwards?
Whether you're a seasoned server, a complete beginner, or someone whose last hit-out was a PE class in 2008 (no judgement), tennis in Ireland is having a serious moment. From sleek city clubs to down-to-earth neighbourhood courts, there’s a tennis tribe out there with your name on it.
After some thorough research, we found the best places to serve, volley, and maybe even finally learn how to nail that backhand slice.
