They were accompanied by 48 WTA Future Stars, which assisted Davenport and Murray in the clinic.

“I had so much fun at the clinic today!” said 16-year-old WTA Future Star Tracy Llamas, from the Philippines said. “It was such a great opportunity to meet with Coach Judy and Lindsay, and I learned a lot from assisting them.

“I am so pleased to have been able to join the WTA today to run a huge community tennis session for over 50 players of mixed ages and abilities,” Murray said. “We were joined by 48 Future Stars from 21 countries and were able to show how to accommodate 101 players on one court. We showed how tennis can be fun and inclusive for the whole community and hopefully inspired all of them to keep playing.”

The WTA Charities Community Day is part of WTA’s efforts to promote active living through tennis by engaging with local communities.

Started in 2017, the WTA Charities aims to inculcate in the next generation the importance of living a healthy and productive life, while showing them the value of teamwork, discipline, and determination, values which can be closely associated to the greatest eight players in the 2017 WTA Finals.
