Grand Slam Tennis Tours lets you travel like the pros to the sport’s most iconic venues
It’s an American flag cake—blueberries as stars, strawberries as stripes—baked by one of England’s most renowned chefs. It’s John Isner’s agent hailing you a ride to your London hotel after a night out, like an old friend. It’s stepping into a Hospitality House on Princes Way, a short walk from the All England Club, with the freedom and comfort that it feels like your actual home. It’s at once familiar and foreign.
What Grand Slam Tennis Tours did for its clients at Wimbledon last year, and what it has done for more than 20 years at tennis tournaments around the world, is strike a balance between what people know they want, and what people never knew was possible. Wimbledon, itself a balance between old and new, is a bucket-list item for U.S. tennis fans. But attending Wimbledon with your own private courtyard, Pimm’s Cups and canapés at your beck and call— plus the opportunity to play tennis at Roehampton? It’s an unsurpassed experience that will make you wish, in some ways, that Wimbledon could be on your bucket list again.
