Head Coach Marc Lewis was invited to play some tennis with 2016 Olympic Gold Medal Tennis Winner Monica Puig and Queens Club Champion Feliciano Lopez in the build up to Wimbledon. The day was a promotional Event for Ellesse Clothing who have Feliciano and Monica as their World Ambassadors.
Marc was asked to bring down a variety of ages and standard of players from the Drive Tennis Club to play, have lunch and do some filming with the professional players.
A great day was had by all with Marc playing some of his famous squad drills like ‘Scramble’ and Feliciano and Monica were highly impressed with the drills and the challenge was on!!
Marc says ‘ In this age of understandable security it was incredible for The Drive Members to get up close and personal for 5 hours with two fantastic players. The previous week Feliciano(or Feli as he likes us to call him) beat Dimitrov, Wawrinka and Cilic to win Queens Club and Monica shot to fame with her incredible Single Gold Medal at the Olympics. When they joined in scramble was fantastic and my players were hitting great and holding their own which kept things intense but fun. It was a pleasure to be involved and an incredible day was had by all.’
