Rising tennis stars to visit PTC

Two of the top young professional tennis players in the world will visit the Peachtree City Tennis Center April 9.

An on-court clinic will be sponsored by Adidas at 4:30 p.m., followed by a doubles exhibition at 6 p.m. — Jan-Michael Gambill and Xavier Malisse versus the Tennis Center's Sean Ferreira and Todd Koehler. Gambill and Malisse will be leading the on-court clinic.

Gambill in his young career has wins over Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier and Mark Philippousis. He is currently ranked 68th in the ATP Tour rankings. Malisse is a rising tennis star. Originally from Kortrijk, Belgium, he now resides in Bradenton, Fla. A member of the Belgium Davis Cup team, Malisse made one of the greatest ranking moves ever, going from 686th to 200th in one year.

The on-court clinic has limited space. Purchase a pair of Adidas shoes from the Tennis Center before April 9 and you will be eligible to reserve a spot in this once-in-a-lifetime clinic. The doubles exhibition is open to the public.
