Pat Cash Tennis Academy

Harlequin Hotels & Resorts are finalising contracts with Pat Cash to bring the Pat Cash Tennis Academy to all of their Caribbean resorts.

Pat Cash first came to the tennis world's attention as a junior player in the early 1980's. He was ranked the top junior player in the world in 1981 and in 1982 he won the junior titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open. He turned professional in 1982 and won his first top level single that year in Melbourne. In 1983 Cash became the youngest player to play in a Davis Cup final.

The crowning moment of his career came at Wimbledon in 1987 when he defeated the World No. 1, Ivan Lendl, in the final to become the Wimbledon Champion. He is a five times Grand Slam Finalist, winner of the Davis Cup twice and a respected world-wide television commentator.

The Academy will provide unique training and coaching programs including video analysis developed from Pat's many years of learning during his playing career, his analytical approach and most recently the application of his knowledge in coaching on the professional tour. It will provide an environment where everyone will be given the opportunity to play tennis to the best of their ability, with encouragement and training to develop the skills necessary to enjoy the game at the level they wish to play. Pat will also hold coaching clinics at each of the resorts and play in exhibition matches.
