JOALI BEING shares highlights from the recent tennis clinics with Tomas Berdych, the renowned former professional tennis player from the Czech Republic, who reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 in 2015.
Berdych had a distinguished career, famously defeating Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic to reach the 2010 Wimbledon final. He also played a key role in securing back-to-back Davis Cup titles for the Czech Republic in 2012 and 2013. Today, he serves as the Czech Republic Davis Cup Captain.
Led by Berdych, we hosted two exclusive tennis clinics for our guests on 11th and 13th February 2025, welcoming kids, teens, and adults to rediscover the joy of tennis. Additionally, JOALI BEING was honoured to host a special tennis clinic for the local community, inviting students, along with their parents and teachers, from R. Innamaadhoo School. This inspiring session focused on refining key tennis skills, with Berdych passionately coaching young Maldivian players to develop a love for the game while embracing its many benefits - fitness, joy, and discipline.
During his stay, guests of all ages also had the unique opportunity to receive personalised coaching through one-on-one tennis lessons with Berdych.
Reflecting on the power of tennis, Tomas Berdych shared, “Being on the tennis court is always an encouragement - it offers endless opportunities to develop strategic skills, embrace challenges, and cultivate a positive mindset with every shot.”
