Welcome back, everyone! After a well deserved summer holiday, it’s time to pick up our racquets, lace up our shoes, and hit the courts again. We’re so excited to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and kick off another fantastic year of tennis together at the Mouratoglou Academy Malaysia at Epsom College Malaysia.
A break is always good, it gives us time to recharge, explore, and spend time with family and friends. But now, the real fun begins. Reconnecting with teammates, sharing stories from the holidays, and of course, getting back to doing what we love most, playing tennis.
Tennis is more fun with friends. One of the things that makes our programme special is the community. Training isn’t just about drills and matches, it’s about building friendships, cheering each other on, and sharing the laughs (yes, even when a ball accidentally flies over the fence). Coming back after the break is the perfect time to reconnect, make new friends, and enjoy the social side of the sport.
A Year to Look Forward To
This school year, we have lots of exciting tennis ahead: training sessions, match play, events, and plenty of opportunities to grow as both players and teammates. Most importantly, we want every player to enjoy the journey, have fun, and feel proud of their progress on and off the court.
So, let’s shake off the holiday rust, share a few laughs, and dive back into training. Tennis is always better when we do it together and we can’t wait to see what this year brings for all of you.
We’re kicking off September with two exciting events happening right here at Epsom.
UTR Weekend Tournament – September 6 – 7:
After a well-deserved school break, it’s time for our players to get back on court and put their training to the test. This weekend tournament is the perfect way to ease back into competition mode, sharpen match skills, and build momentum for the rest of the season. We’ll be keeping a close eye on our players as they take on this challenge with focus and determination
ITF J100 Kuala Lumpur – September 7 – 14:
We’re also proud to be hosting the ITF J100 KL. A prestigious international event that brings together top-ranked junior players from around the world.
- Qualifying Rounds: September 7-8
- Main Draw: September 9-14
Even more exciting, our Mouratoglou Academy Malaysia players are also competing in the ITF J100 tournament, representing the academy on the international stage. It’s a huge moment for them, and we can’t wait to see them step up and challenge themselves against some of the best junior players out there.
Come down to our tennis courts, show your support for our players, and catch some world-class junior tennis right here at home. Let’s create a great atmosphere and cheer them on as they give it their all. Whether you’re playing, cheering, or learning, there’s something for everyone this month. Let’s show up, support, and celebrate the game we love. Good luck to all players!
