WorkLife Meet Tennis Legend Jeremy Bates

Last Monday, WorkLife met with English mixed doubles champion and tennis legend Jeremy Bates at the press day for The Classique, the region's upcoming most exclusive tennis event.

WorkLife were lucky enough to grab an exclusive interview with the Wimbledon star, as he was in the city promoting the event, at the offices of one of The Classique's sponsors Credit Suisse.

The inaugural Classique is the most exclusive event in the North West for 2011, combining world class tennis with superior hospitality, all set amongst the grandeur of De Vere Mottram Hall in Cheshire. Where tennis legends from around the globe will entertain you and your guests on a purpose built grass court, viewed from your own private box.

Other tennis heavy weights so far confirmed to play alongside Bates at The Classique include former French National Championship finalist, Cedric Pioline; former Wimbledon singles semi-finalist, Anders Jarryd, former French Open finalist, Henri Leconte and former Wimbledon winner, Richard Krajicek.

Tournament director, Vicky Collins, said: “The Classique is an ideal opportunity for business people to break out of the boardroom and entertain current or prospective clients."

"Guests will not only be able to watch some of the most famous names in tennis play against each other, but in a beautiful, intimate setting.”


The Classique will be taking place between Wednesday 8th June and Friday 10th June at De Vere Mottram Hall.
