As part of East Dorset’s centenary year celebrations Peter Fleming and Chris Wilkinson will be holding clinics and playing an exhibition match at the club in Salterns Road, Poole, Dorset on Saturday 8th August.
“We are delighted both players have agreed to join us and offer adults and juniors the chance to take part in the hour long clinic. It is a great opportunity to hit with and learn from two of the games former tournament professionals” says Tennis Chairman Simon Harrison. “Tickets will go on sale at the end of June from the Club, but numbers are limited for the clinic so people will have to be quick. There should be plenty of exhibition tickets though.”
Peter Fleming won 50 doubles titles with his partner John McEnroe including 4 at Wimbledon and 3 at the US Open. He was on America’s winning Davis Cup team on three occasions, was ranked number one in doubles in 1984 and had a career world high singles ranking of eight.
Chris Wilkinson is a former British number one and represented Great Britain in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. He reached the third round at Wimbledon on four occasions and gave Stefan Edberg a good run for his money in 1993, the year he was ranked inside the world top 115. He also won the Over 35's World Championship a few years ago.
In addition to the Exhibition match and Clinics, there will be a variety of stalls, fun for the kids including bouncy castle and a Rum Bar operated by the Barbados Tourist Board. Details about this day and other centenary events at the club can be obtained by calling 01202 740219.
