Lopez and Cervantes launch academy in Singapore

Feliciano Lopez and Sergio Cervantes are in charge of the SportEd Tennis Academy in February, it has been revealed.

Lopez and Cervantes have revealed that they are trying to bring the best coaches and facilities; which allows the kids to work under methods which have previously seen the likes of Rafael Nadal come out of it.

The duo hope that this can lead to some recognition from governing bodies in Singapore; as well as that they want to 'transfer Spanish Tennis to Singapore'.

"I've played many times in Asia. There are opportunities for tennis in Singapore; as well as the general interest is there, and that's why we are thinking of Singapore to launch the academy," Lopez said.

"We want to try and create a team of Spanish people moving from Spain to Singapore; with the possibility of developing the coaching here, and in the end, to transfer Spanish tennis to Singapore," Cervantes said.
