Hardcore Tennis Bootcamp in Asia/Pacific ??

MAXXply · 07-07-2010, 03:58 AM

Can anyone suggest a good holiday resort or tennis facility in Asia for a tennis holiday focussing on drills and instruction? A kind of place I can spend hours on-court and relax poolside in the evening, that sort of thing...

I've got weeks of annual vacation coming up and would like to devote it to re-building my game in a pleasant holiday environment. Thanks for anything

No country in mind, though SE-Asian holiday resorts would be ideal.

I would think a hardcore tennis boot camp makes sense if it's based where there are an abundance of great juniors and good coaches. In the USA, that often means they're often based in Florida. With Australia's history in tennis (compared to SE Asia's), it must be more likely to find something of that nature in the Land of Oz than in SE Asia. I can't speak from personal experience, but Pat Cash's camp and Peter Smith's Academy ought to have pretty good cachet.

Yes I agree, I just prefer to be grinding away on a tennis court in a tropical locale far from home. Somehow an Aussie camp would be a little too domestic for me but I will still check them out.

as far as i know, the hardcore tennis camps in SE Asia are the ones in Thailand and maybe the Philippines. I'll be in Hong Kong next week and I dont know if i can actually find somebody there to hit with. maybe i can also check if there are hardcore tennis bootcamps there
