go on their next tennis holiday. Each year the site publishes its annual
rankings of the best tennis resorts and camps worldwide, with the current
list based on submitted reviews from tennis playing guests over the last
twelve months.
“In
my three-plus decades of covering tennis travel, I've visited more than
350 resorts and participated in more than 50 tennis camps,” said Roger
Cox, Editor of Tennis Resorts Online. “I've personally interviewed hundreds
of vacationing players and polled thousands more, all in an effort to understand
what makes a resort or camp great. The fact that several Cliff Drysdale
Tennis-managed properties make this list each year tells me that the Cliff
Drysdale staff understands the needs of avid tennis players and consistently
meets or exceeds their expectations.”
