Ballinlough hosts Tennis Europe Junior Tour

It runs until Saturday 30th March with 52 of the top Under 12 players in Europe at the tennis club

This tour has been a springboard for many a top tennis professional – think Ruud, Alcaraz, Tsitsipas and Svitolina to name just a few.

The week-long event will see players travelling from across Europe including participants from the likes of the UK, Sweden, Lithuania, Austria and Malta.

The European talent will compete with Ireland’s top ranked U12 boys and girls. The event is sure to put Ballinlough Tennis Club and Cork on the European Tennis map
