Testimonial
I would like to confirm that I have known James Lenton for over 10 years. I was one of the first players at Dukes Meadows (2010) and had regular lessons with James. James was always very professional, punctual and honest. He gave 100% into his lessons and his knowledge was always at the highest level. I have improved my serve and backhand due to James tuition and achieved very high results in my tennis seniors (ITF circuit) career. I was able to become the World Champion in the ladies age groups of 40 years old and in the age group of 45 years old. I wish James was back at Dukes Meadows! He was the heart of Dukes Meadows

Testimonial
James worked with me for 3 years from the age of 21 - 24, he was a total breath of fresh air in comparison to the many National / International coaches I’d previously worked with, his passion, attention to detail, ingenious coaching methods (even had me diving in a swimming pool to practice the diving volley!) and his professional but gentle manner was just amazing to work with and really advanced my game and mind helping me to gain entry into the singles main draw at Wimbledon and also reaching a career high world ranking. Tennis would be in a much better place with more coaches like James.
