Rutherglen Lawn Tennis Club are excited to welcome Judy Murray back to their courts for an action-packed ‘Mini Murray Day’ that will help promote the Davis Cup being played in Glasgow.
Judy, who helped open the club’s Burnside courts in 2017 and has dropped by for visits down the years, will make her latest appearance on Saturday, September 10, ahead of elite tennis coming to Scotland later in the month.
She will be in town to see son Sir Andy compete for Great Britain in Group D of the Davis Cup at Glasgow’s Emirates Arena, where the team will face United States, Netherlands and Kazakhstan between September 13-18.
It is the first time in seven years that Andy Murray has played competitive tennis on home soil as he continues to work his way back up the world rankings following hip surgery in 2019.
And Great Britain’s involvement has seen Rutherglen LTC chosen for a special event to celebrate the competition’s return to Glasgow.
The Mini Murray day will see Judy host tennis fun for all ages, including parent and child games, adult beginner sessions, a team doubles competition, fun fitness circles, a girls-only ‘miss-hits’ session and a Battle of the Brits skills challenge.
The event will run from 2pm until 6pm with the cafe serving a selection of Judy’s favourite cakes
Club president Gareth Ellor is thrilled to see the club involved and expects an ace day.
He told Lanarkshire Live Sport : “We’re thrilled Judy is coming back to Rutherglen LTC once again to help us celebrate the return of the Davis Cup to Glasgow and use this as an opportunity to promote tennis in the surrounding area.
“She’s chosen us because we’re the nearest community club to The Emirates Arena, where the 'World Cup of Tennis' will be played.
"But she’s also a huge supporter of all the work we do to promote tennis in our local community and is always keen to help us out whenever she can to help us reach out to even more people.
“This is a huge boost for us and a big pat on the back for all our hard work.
"Everyone at the club is looking forward to a cracking afternoon of tennis fun hosted by Judy and welcoming lots of new faces to the club.”
