French Open Clay Day at Dorchester Tennis Club

French Open Members Event!

The French Open is here — red clay, big spins, long rallies and sliding everywhere!

Ever wondered why the ball bounces higher, why points last longer, or how players move so smoothly on clay?

On Sunday 31 May (2–4 pm), we’ll be finding out for ourselves with our STC-organised road trip to Dorchester Tennis Club to play on their clay courts, guided by our Coach Graham Howell.

Expect:

✅ Clay‑court movement & balance
✅ Understanding bounce, spin & angles
✅ Fun, social tennis
✅ A post‑tennis drink at the bar (not included)

Watch the French Open → then play it.
