Tailor-made tennis tours in China & Hong Kong

China has become a major tourist hotspot since the captivating 2008 Summer Olympic games in Beijing.

Tennis in China is a rapidly growing sport, it currently boasts 30,000 tennis courts and an estimated 14 million people regularly play tennis. Tennis is the third most popular spectator sport next to football and basketball. The national governing body is the China tennis association.

The most notable player in Chinese tennis is the hugely popular Li Na who won the 2011 French Open final, becoming the first Asian tennis player to lift a grand slam singles title. To many Chinese, "China's number one sister" is a rebble and a Maverick. She has a tattoo, has dyed her hair many different colors and has even been known to yell at her husband in public all of which are considered controversial to many Chinese and associated with bad behavior

Why not combine your tour of Ancient China with a visit Hong Kongs truly unique city.

Tennis in Hong Kong is equally as popular as China meaning you will find fixtures for all ages and abilities.
