Recently appointed PSA Chief Executive Alex Gough cut a slightly incongruous figure this morning as he tried his hand for the first time at Real Tennis.
Gough and his even newer Chief Operating Officer Lee Beachill found the experience highly amusing. Picking up a Real Tennis racket is like wielding an axe in comparison with the much lighter feel of the squash racket the pair are used to.
The two men entrusted with the task of guiding the men’s professional game to new heights took to the court at The Queen’s Club, the official home of Real Tennis.
If, as is hoped, squash returns to The Queen’s Club again in the near future, don’t be surprised to see Messrs Gough and Beachill honing their skills in their newly discovered sport!
