It’s that time of year again, when tennis fans get their Pimms and strawberries at the ready for the tennis extravaganza that is Wimbledon.
Whether you just want to watch the action, knockabout with friends or take your tennis more seriously, the easyJet Holidays website offer plenty of hotels to choose from.
Brush up your game in Greece
The Sani Resort in Halkidiki has a new state-of-the-art sport complex which includes six clay courts, two of them floodlit and qualified tennis instructors on-site if you want to brush up your game.
The resort is a family owned ecological reserve stretching across 1,000 acres, with wonderful views of the Aegean Sea, endless golden beaches and magnificent pine forests - so plenty of space for post-match relaxation.
Seven nights on half board basis at the four star Sani Beach Hotel and Spa departing from London Gatwick on 18 September costs £1,081 per person.
Get experience on grass courts on the Costa Del Sol
If you didn’t make the Wimbledon Championships this year, but need to hone your skills on grass courts, then why not head to the Costa Del Sol where you can recreate the Wimbledon experience (hopefully without the rain!).
The four star H10 Andalucia Plaza Hotel is situated just 500 metres from glitzy and glamorous Puerto Banus with its elegant marina and trendy shops, but also has a tennis club nearby with twelve grass courts.
Seven nights on bed and breakfast basis at the H10 Andalucia Plaza Hotel departing from London Gatwick on 5 September costs £638 per person.
Cheer on Murray from his home town of Glasgow
Fresh from a win at the Queens tournament and now ranking number two in the world, could this be the year Andy Murray wins Wimbledon? If watching the tennis with a glass of Pimms in your hand is more your style, then why not take a last minute break to his home town of Glasgow during the Championships and cheer him on with the locals.
Three nights departing from on 1 July from London Luton and staying at the Holiday Inn Express Riverside on bed and breakfast basis costs £206 per person.
(Please note, at time of writing, dates for later Murray matches during the Championships are not yet confirmed).
Game, Set and Match on Nadal’s home island of Majorca
The tennis star Rafael Nadal hails from the island of Majorca, where there are a number of tennis schools available. Famous tennis players such as Boris Becker have given Paguera Tennis Centre the thumbs up, and you could follow in his footsteps with 15 clay courts available for hourly rental.
