The LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) which is the governing body of British tennis are looking to step in to help save a tennis centre near Liverpool where Emma Raducanu once played.
Wirral Council are currently looking to close the indoor courts in Bidston for a year before reopening just half of the courts.
But the LTA has written to the council asking to pause any decision as they aim to make it viable and financially sustainable.
A spokesperson for the LTA said: “We’re confident that Wirral Tennis Centre can become sustainable and profitable in the long-term. We’re keen to offer our help to the council as they develop plans for the future of the centre.
“Hopefully by working together we can avoid the centre’s closure and the loss of vital indoor tennis facilities.”
