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.”

- As for ITIA -- who, or what entity, oversees this untrustworthy organization?? Too many recent cases of suspensions over tests proving minimal stats at best. Neither Iga nor Simona showed even a hint at prolonged use. Sinner, we don't know because the secrecy was extreme. Now we find ITIA flat-out LIED about speaking directly with the manufacturer of the drug in question associated with Iga. Are we to believe ITIA can be trusted? Not according to the past few years of questionable corporate conduct. ITIA can no longer be trusted to fairly regulate nor investigate itself... so who or what will??mandoist06-12-2024
