Amelia Fortescue - ASSISTANT COACH 

Amelia fell in love with tennis at the age of five, and whilst playing various different sports during her junior years, she was keenly passionate about tennis. 

She went on to study psychology at Bath University, during her time at Bath she played in the women’s first team as they won the British University Tennis Championships, and she later became the captain. 

Her enthusiasm for tennis continued as she was offered a scholarship to be coached by Maria Sharapova’s former coach Peter McCraw, in Melbourne Australia. She was fortunate enough to compete on the ITF circuit in countries all over the world. Last year she played the Liverpool International Exhibition against Qiang Wang, formerly ranked 12 WTA and mixed doubles with Marcus Willis. 

On going injuries started to limit her ability to train and compete, but with her enthusiasm for tennis ever growing she was inspired into coaching. While Amelia has a passion for the technical element of the game she believes the most important thing is for people to have fun and enjoy tennis at all levels and abilities.
