Ipswich tennis enthusiasts have the chance to win a private coaching session at Wimbledon with former British No.1 Mark Petchey in a new competition launched at Ipswich Sports Club.
Why it matters: The Mark Petchey Grand Slam Giveaway offers local players the opportunity to receive elite-level coaching at the home of tennis, including exclusive access to Centre Court and a private lunch with the former Andy Murray coach.
