We have just returned from our first special hosted week in Florence for 3 years and it was great to be back! Our location in Florence at the Match Ball Firenze Country Club has to be one of the nicest clubs in Italy regarding its facilities and just such a beautiful place to hang out in an amazing Tuscan setting.
The owner of the club Roberto Casamonti has not only donated a beautiful museum to Florence but continues to invest in the club which he took over 47 years ago. His love of art is evident throughout the grounds.
A huge thanks to all of our clients who came back on a TTH trip to Lucca after covid times and also to all of the new clients who came to Florence last week. The idea of the holiday has always been driven by my love for tennis and Italy combined, so it was once again very pleasing to see how much our clients love Italy too.


Rome
Our next planned trip will be to Rome next May for the Italian Open - click HERE for details.
 A new possibility coming soon will be the chance to visit Rome at many other times of the year as we are setting up an arrangement with a local club, accommodation and one of our top coaches to allow you the possibility of short trips to improve your tennis and enjoy the eternal city at the same time! 


US OPEN
The US Open is reaching the final stages and it's anyone's guess who the winners will be? Pretty tiring watching these late night matches but so glad I saw the last 2 sets of Alcaraz v Sinner. I had thought that the winner of that match would win the entire event and I will stick with that. What a match! The resilience of both players was quite incredible and the level of attacking tennis, extraordinary!  I'm hoping for a Ruud v Alcaraz final but wouldn't right off Tiafoe the way he is playing or Khachanov for that matter. Tennis is the winner with these great players making their way into the final stages of a great event and we could also have a new world number 1!
The women's is also up for grabs from any of the final 4 but I think that Garcia might fulfill her shot making potential and take the crown if she can continue playing the way she has been in the past 2 weeks.


Coaching from the side
I really don't like this as I feel it detracts from the beauty of tennis which is dealing with adversity on your own and finding a way to win. I'm not too sure that it's helping players all that much as some of the players seem to be looking to their team for ideas and then complaining when it doesn't work? It's an experiment until the end of the year but I would hope that we go back to the old way of seeing who can work it out! Your thoughts?


2023
Next year we hope to be able to offer more special hosted weeks in all of our locations but it would be great to hear from our clients in regard to your preferences in terms of places and when?  This would help enormously with our planning for next year.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Ian
