Testimonial

Fola is hard working in all areas of her training and is developing a great all-round game. Her effort is excellent in physical, mental and technical work. She is showing massive improvements at the moment that gives me confidence that she will be a successful tennis player in the future. Her training is based on long term player development programme.
