Fall In Love On The Court With Tennis Hospitality Packages
Usually when sports pundits are talking about what is currently the hottest contender in sport, it based on the performance of great sporting personalities and what the odds are at the bookmakers. I am sure that this year's Wimbledon competition is no different, but here we aim to give you a different reason to invest in tennis hospitality packages based on how hot the tennis players really are. So grab your strawberries and cream, and prepare for a rundown of some of the fittest blokes in tennis, it may be game set and match, but there is always a chance of love in this sport.
Back in my day, my bedroom walls were splashed with posters of Pat Cash. Coming into his prime in 1987, Mister Cash was top of the headlines when he won the men's Singles at Wimbledon, consequently winning the hearts of teenagers around the globe. Although Pat won't be in this year's tournament, there is no shortage of eye candy for the not so discerning viewer! However, if Pat really is your man and tennis is your passion, take a trip to the Thai island of Koh Samui, where he has opened up his very own academy on pristine shores as part of a new five star development.
Andre Agassi is another old time favourite for teenage poster-fodder, but in the world of tennis is infamous for not playing at Wimbledon. The maverick star out-did the temper tantrums of John McEnroe when he refused to conform to the traditional dress code of the quintessentially English court, and opted not to play the tournament. Whether he would have opted to attend the event using tickets for a hospitality package can only be speculated. Surely the traditions of a vintage champagne reception, a la carte menu and afternoon tea are too much to resist even for the most bohemian of characters.
I for one would sell my soul and the birdhouse it lives in to grab a ticket for one of the prestigious packages available for the 2009 tournament. With the likes of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic taking centre court, I want one of the best seats in the house, and the prime locations are reserved for those who have bought tennis hospitality packages. There is no need to be concerned about rain stopping the play either. The new retractable roof over the centre court means that play can continue when otherwise it wouldn't and should there any delay in play, the suites positioned nearby are well equipped with internet links and a chauffeur so you can get on with your day to day business whilst lapping up the luxury.
It is only with the most prestigious of tickets for the Wimbledon Tournament that you are guaranteed to get up close, if not personal, to two of the fittest players in the world today. The Spaniard Rafael Nadal has been ranked number 1 in world tennis since last summer after winning the Wimbledon Mens Singles. Last year he was pitted against the Swiss hottie Roger Federer, but this year us girlies are hoping that we get to see Nadal opposite Novak Djokovic. The Serbian hot shot now lives in Monaco and is as glorious to watch play a game of tennis as all the other poster-boys of the past. One thing is for sure, no matter who ends up in the finals, the will be a few ladies hot under the collar, even if the sun isn't shining!
