TIDBITS & Editors Notes:

Year after year, The Boodles attracts the world’s best players as they finalise their grass-court preparations . Over the last 14 years the event has featured a who’s who of the tennis world including Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Andre Agassi and Tim Henman. With an intimate 2,000 seater stadium, where no seat is further than 12 metres from the court, The Boodles puts guests right at the heart of the action on court while entertaining them in a relaxed, garden party atmosphere.

We have attended the event almost every year. It is so much fun. The setting is spectacular. The tennis competitive but a lot of relaxed fun on court as well. The clothes, the cars, the food. What can we say other than its posh and perfect as a Wimbledon warm up.

Where else can you see Novak fly in in a helicopter like James Bond and to take the court?

We proudly list the sponsors because with out them there is no event.
