Liverpool International Tennis Tournament visits Southport's Kings Gardens
THE Liverpool International
Tennis
Tournament has grown, since 2002, to become
the longest running and largest tennis exhibition in Europe. This amazing event
is due to be held over 15 June to 18 June 2017, within the wonderful
surroundings of the Liverpool Cricket Club. The 16th Edition of the now titled
Liverpool Hope University International Tennis Tournament is set to be one of
the best yet, catering for 10,000 spectators per tournament! With some of the
biggest names in Tennis ready to play in front of you, at a fraction of the cost
of Wimbledon Tickets!
Here at Southport Reporter, as 1 of the media
partners, we looked at how Southport can
benefit from this excellent sporting event. Interestingly, we have a few of the
UK's top players in and around Southport, plus Hope University is actively
involved within the local tennis community, so to us, it makes even more sense
to push it... Therefore as part of the build up to the 2017 event, the
Tournament hosted a free Tennis session on King's Gardens, on Southport's
historic Promenade, on Sunday, 4 June 2017. So with the thanks of the Friend's
of Kings Gardens and Sefton Parks and Gardens, we decided to ask that the
outreach part of the Tournament visit Southport. This outreach side of the
Tournament is aimed at promoting not only the event, but also the benefits of
Tennis in keeping people healthy and active, as well as giving information on
how to join tennis clubs locally. Due to the London attacks, we decided to keep
the event low key, but it was extremely well received and the miniature tennis
court looked fantastic, within the 17 acre garden, overlooking Southport's
Marine Lake.
