TOWIE’s Jess Wright donned her tennis whites to hit the courts in Manchester.
The reality TV star travelled from Essex to join a Tennis Tuesdays session at Alexandra Park on June 21.
The initiative from Lawn Tennis Association and Nike is designed to encourage more women to pick up a racket and play more tennis.
The sessions are being run in Trafford and take place throughout the summer.
Courses are run by professional coaches and focus on a different area of the game each week, using a mixture of skills training which helps improve the ability of those involved. Participants also get a chance to match play with other women of a similar level.
Speaking at the session, Jess Wright said: “Tennis Tuesdays is a great way of inspiring women to take part in tennis more often. I’ve really enjoyed tonight, to hit the courts in such a fun and relaxed environment has motivated me to pick up a racket more often and play more tennis, plus it’s social! I would definitely recommend Tennis Tuesdays to anyone looking to keep fit this summer.”
Tennis Tuesdays are being held at Sale Sports Club Main Ground and Urmston Lawn Tennis Club.
