On Sunday, we had the absolute pleasure of heading down to the Lexus Eastbourne International at Devonshire Park and what a day it turned out to be!
From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement. The courts were alive with incredible tennis as some of the world’s best players put on a show, and we were lucky enough to catch some top-level matches and practice sessions up close. Watching these athletes in action was truly inspiring — their skill, focus and intensity were something else!
One of the real highlights was seeing so many tennis stars in action. We got to watch Ons Jabeur, Emma Raducanu, Jelena Ostapenko, and rising star Joao Fonseca practice, and we met the current Wimbledon champion, Barbora Krejcikova. It was such a treat to witness their routines, intensity, and moments of brilliance on court.
Of course, no summer tennis day is complete without a few essentials, and we made sure to tick them all off:
Incredible live tennis — fast rallies, pin point volleys and big serves
Friendly chats with the local police — complete with smiles and photo ops 👮♀️📸
Ice cream all round — because what’s a sunny day by the seaside without one? 🍦
Some special moments for Marty — who got her cast signed at every opportunity 😂, making the day even more unforgettable 💖🖊️
The whole experience was not just fun — it was uplifting. Being surrounded by the excitement of a professional tournament, the kindness of others, and the joy of simply watching top players reminded us why we love tennis so much.
We left Devonshire Park with big smiles, tired feet, and a renewed sense of motivation, ready to get back on court ourselves!
