Wow! What a week for tennis—Emma Raducanu battled her way into the Miami Open 3rd round, and Mark Petchey was right there in her corner! From coaching 36 of us “professionals” at ISC in January to now guiding one of Britain’s brightest stars—what a career shift! 😆 We wish Emma all the best, and let’s hope Mark helps rocket her up the rankings this year!
Don’t forget you too could end up with a private lesson, tour and lunch at Wimbledon with Mark Petchey all you have to do is qualify and win the final on June 8th 2025.
But let’s get back to the real action… ISC Sunday’s Grand Slam Getaway!
🚨 Breaking news: Vera & Wayne are still the ultimate final-blockers! 🚨
These two have already secured their places in the June 8th Grand Final, but that hasn’t stopped them from crushing dreams and keeping everyone else at bay!
🎉 The big news? DAN PIPKIN has smashed his way into the final! 🎉
A solid 20 points sees him claim his golden ticket to the showdown for the ultimate prize—a private coaching session with Mark Petchey! That’s right, the winner on June 8th gets the golden opportunity to train with the man who’s worked with Andy Murray, Emma Raducanu… and (briefly) us!
Sunday’s Standings
🏆 Vera Gair – 22 points (Already Qualified, Still Ruthless)
🏆 Wayne Peberdy – 21 points (Already Qualified, Dream Crusher Extraordinaire)
✅ Dan Pipkin – 20 points (NEW QUALIFIER! Welcome to the Big Time!)
Just two points behind, we had a four-way tie on 18 points (Anna Brown, Chris Dearling, Genevieve Broad & Clare Dearling)—all painfully close to glory. Katie Card nearly made it last week, now this week’s crew are knocking at the door… will next Sunday be their moment?
Not many chances left to grab your spot! Who’s stepping up next? Or will Vera & Wayne continue their reign of terror? 🤣
See you on court next Sunday— just ask to play by Thursday and bring your A-game on Sunday! 🎾🔥
