We’re well and truly in tennis mode just off the back of another spectacular Wimbledon tournament in London<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it appears the spirit has made its way closer to home right here in the UAE, as the coach behind seven-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams is opening up his very own tennis centre in the capital city.<\/p>\n

Patrick Mouratoglou<\/a>, who was previously coach to Serena up until her retirement in 2022, and currently instructor to Naomi Osaka, has opened up the Mouratoglou Tennis Center<\/a> on Hudayriyat Island. Bringing world-class courts, elite education, and serious sporting energy to Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

Nestled within the 321 Sports<\/a> complex, the centre includes six ITF-certified courts, tailored training programmes, and a world-class team at the forefront. It\u2019s a sleek new destination where high performance meets world-class coaching, creating fresh opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to train like the best or at least, with the best.<\/p>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

Led by Bram Dhaen, who has been part of the Mouratoglou legacy for a while now, the centre brings the status and precision of a global tennis powerhouse to the capital, joining a community of elite training hubs internationally\u2019s most coveted places, from the French Riviera to Bali and beyond.<\/p>\n

Hudayriyat Island has already made its name within the sporting industry, home to cycling circuits and world-class surfing experience<\/a>, and now with the new addition of the Mouratoglou Tennis Center, things have stepped up.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to learn to serve like Serena, this new Abu Dhabi tennis retreat is your starting point for game, set and match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42757,"featured_media":65011,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[222,260,36,35,5023],"yoast_head":"\nSerena Williams' Coach Launches A Tennis
