Play tennis with a top pro

Posted

Tennis enthusiasts have a rare opportunity to take a clinic with tennis great Andreas Seppi, a former top-ranking singles pro who reached number 18 in the world in 2013. He amassed more than 350 ATP match victories and captured three ATP singles championships.

Seppi will instruct two 90-minute tennis clinics on Aug. 30 for adults and junior players, including drills, individual player tips and instruction, and will hold an engaging conversation over refreshments about life as a tennis pro and what it felt like defeating Roger Federer. Participants will receive commemorative gifts; cost is $250 per participant.

The junior clinic will be 8 to 9:30 a.m. The adult clinic will be 10:30 a.m. to noon. The location is Mouratoglou Tennis Center at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island.

Adults can join Seppi for a group dinner at 6-9 p.m. Aug. 30 at the award-winning Salt Restaurant at the resort for casual conversation about life as a tennis pro, his start as a junior player and what it takes to compete on the Grand Slam tour. Dinner includes three courses paired with wine. Cost is $400 per person (includes gratuity and tax).

Adults will also enjoy access to the spa lounges, wellness center and private adult pool.
