■ A Special Day Marking the 25th Anniversary, Standing on the Same Court as a Professional Player
Tennis Garden Koryo has reached its 25th anniversary, supported by the local community.
At ITC Tennis School, we value tennis not just as a sport, but as a place for communication that connects people and fosters healthy, enriching times.
We invited professional tennis player Ayano Sonoda, who has achievements such as reaching the doubles quarterfinals at the All Japan Indoor Championships and winning the Takasaki Open, and who is widely supported by all generations on social media and various events, as a special guest for the 25th-anniversary event.
When she appeared at the venue, participants gave a big round of applause, and the clinic started in a special atmosphere unique to the 25th-anniversary event.
During the shot clinic, focusing on strokes and serves, Ms. Sonoda gave practical advice unique to her.
Ms. Sonoda provided detailed advice not only on form but also on points she focuses on during matches and how to use her body, and participants listened intently.
Also, in the game format challenging the pair of Ms. Sonoda and Coach Chemer, many participants were seen attempting bold shots despite their nervousness, and the venue was filled with excitement.
Cheers erupted when a point was taken from the professionals with a nice shot, making it a time filled with smiles and applause.
In the afternoon session, a program focused on practical training was developed according to skill levels.
Participants engaged in rally practice, volley vs. stroke, and match practice, practicing in a more game-like setting, experiencing a different kind of tension than usual lessons.
It became an opportunity to re-realize the profoundness and enjoyment of tennis, not only through technique but also by feeling the tactics with opponents and the flow of the match.
Comment from Professional Tennis Player Ayano Sonoda:
"This was my first time holding such an event in Kansai, but everyone welcomed me so warmly, and I also enjoyed playing. Their active challenging spirit and smiles when they scored points were very impressive. I hope you will continue to enjoy tennis and take on many challenges."
