Michelle also said that this summer saw record numbers of under 10’s joining in summer camps she runs, she said “ I go regularly into primary schools to promote tennis during term time, setting up tennis on the playground. I teach up to 30 children skills needed to play tennis, it certainly inspires them to take up the game, and of course Andy Murrays success, and now others such as Johanna Konta doing so well encourages the kids to play.”
