Kicking off the 2025 WTA Come Play presented by Morgan Stanley clinic series, WTA stars joined tennis coaching legend, Judy Murray and former Australian No.1 and current WTA coach, Nicole Pratt in Melbourne ahead of the first Grand Slam of the year, bringing the sport of tennis to local communities.
The WTA Foundation and Morgan Stanley joined forces with Tennis Australia’s youth programs for a clinic with a shared vision and purpose to expanding access to the game of tennis for youth from diverse backgrounds.
On Friday, January with Murray and Pratt at the helm, WTA stars Ajla Tomljanovic, Leylah Fernandez and Camila Osorio coached 60 girls from Learn 2 Lead and the #NoLimits program at the Royal South Yarra Lawn Tennis Club giving the participants a once in a lifetime experience.
The WTA Come Play community outreach initiative, which started in 2018, utilizes tennis to positively impact communities by encouraging youth of all ages and abilities, with a focus on girls, to lead healthy and productive lives on and off the court.
" We are proud to bring the Come Play program back to Melbourne in partnership with the WTA for the second consecutive year. Last year i saw firsthand just how big of an impact an event like Come Play can have on our community. It truly brings to life our firm's core value of giving back and we hope it inspires the next generation of tennis stars to keep breaking boundaries both on and off the court" said Rebecca Hill, Head of Wealth Management Australia at Morgan Stanley.
