With the opening of the new Queensland State Tennis Centre at Tennyson later this year, it's quite possible that Brisbane is going to go tennis-mad. Spend some time on the tennis courts now, perfecting your serve and practising your lob.
Search our directory for Tennis Courts.
You'll also find many schools and some Brisbane City Council parks have tennis courts for day and night hire.
If you want to improve your skills, join a tennis club or hire a tennis coach.
Tennis is a great sport for children. Most of the tennis centres offer classes for kids, including toddlers.
