World of tennis comes to Lanzarote

There’s a chance to see some top tennis action in Puerto del Carmen this weekend, when the 7th annual Fariones Group Trophy takes place at the tennis centre. It’s a pretty cosmopolitan affair with players from 20 countries taking part, all chasing 50,000 dollars of prize money.

Last years winner, Jo Willfred Tsonga, from France, will be back to defend his title and the action should be edge of the seat stuff. The tournament runs from Saturday April 26 to the following Saturday May 3.

All players have to start with games against their friends at a young age, and when you are on holiday on a sun drenched island, it’s the perfect setting. Sands Beach Resort hotel in Costa Teguise, likes to encourage sporting excercise, and has a tennis court for guests to get their lobs and swings to perfection. Of that all gets a bit hot, there is always the choice of 6 pools or the beachfront lagoon to cool down in. Tennis is a great game for all the family to share, and after all, families are what Sands Beach Resort is all about.
