Patrick Mouratoglou to open new tennis academy in Australia

·

Founder of Tennis Majors and creator of the Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) Tour, Patrick Mouratoglou, will be opening a Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in Australia.

The Academy will be part of the proposed Cape Otway Road Australia (CORA) sport and wellness tourist destination, on a 220-hectare property on the Victorian Surf Coast, replicating Mouratoglou’s flagship facility in Nice, France.

“This is a big move for our brand,” Mouratoglou said in a statement.

Having launched five tennis facilities abroad overall, this is the second academy in the globe for Serena Williams’ former coach, Mouratoglou, now collaborating with an Australian-accredited boarding school provider to offer roughly 200 spots to tennis players, with the first academic year beginning in 2027.

“We have always loved Australia, a genuine ‘tennis nation’, and this partnership is an exciting development for the region, providing educational and career opportunities for young students as well as athletes”, Mouratoglou added.

According to tennismajors.com, the Tennis Academy complex at CORA will include 48 courts, including 33 tennis courts, 15 additional courts (padel, pickleball, and mini), a show court, and a clubhouse with a gym and swimming pool.

The Academy will also provide tennis camps to the Australian public, particularly during school vacations.

Mouratoglou is well known for hosting training centres where prominent talents including Stefanos Tsitsipas have refined their tennis skills, only hoping to expand his reach further in Australia.
