Members of the Christopher Morley Tennis High Performance program in Roslyn got a special treat recently as International Tennis Hall of Famer and three-time Grand Slam singles champion Virginia Wade paid a visit.
Wade, who plays at the facility on a semi-regular basis and is friends with Program Director Hilary Bressler, spoke to the kids about her tennis career which includes an array of accolades, most notably her triumph at the 1977 Wimbledon Championships.
The players in the program were given the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A question, and Wade then walked around during the program to give some pointers and tips to each student.
“It was a wonderful experience for them to meet a Grand Slam Champion,” said Bressler. “She truly is an ambassador of our sport and enjoys giving back especially to the kids.”
