Teen Verdict
Honor, 15
The tour lasts an hour and a half and takes you round the courts , the order of play and championship draw boards and the press box where players are interviewed after their matches where you can have your picture taken. That was really good fun. You also get to look at Murray Mound and there are some really cool hi-tech exhibits. If you’re a tennis fan like me I reckon you’ll love this place. My younger cousin (10) who came with us isn’t and she liked it too though.
