HEAD AND JUDY MURRAY CONTINUE TO NURTURE FUTURE GRAND SLAM CHAMPIONS
Leading global tennis and sports apparel brand HEAD is pleased to announce the continuation of its partnership with Great Britain’s Fed Cup team captain, Judy Murray.
The partnership will see Judy Murray continue to use HEAD’s racquets in her role as a regional and national tennis coach, in addition to working closely with HEAD’s elite junior players in her role as a HEAD ambassador.
Speaking ahead of the announcement Judy said,
“I’ve been using HEAD racquets for about 15 years. The quality of HEAD’s frames and strings allow me to coach all day with effortless power. Wherever I go, whether I’m coaching at a school or a club, I always have a boot full of HEAD racquets which cater for children of any age and at any stage of their development.”
Judy, who is mother to reigning Wimbledon Champion Andy and former Wimbledon Mixed Doubles Champion Jamie, has been Great Britain’s Fed Cup team captain since 2011, having previously been a Scottish national coach for nine years. In addition to mentoring Great Britain’s leading female tennis players, Judy is also passionate about improving tennis facilities throughout the country, attracting more girls to take up tennis at a grassroots level and increasing the number of female coaches.
Dave Shaw, HEAD UK General Manager, hopes that HEAD’s partnership will continue to encourage children of all abilities to play tennis, in addition to supporting the development of HEAD’s junior and elite players and coaches,
“Working with Judy is a perfect fit for HEAD. Both parties are passionate about increasing participation levels and offering the best coaching and support for promising young players and elite professionals. We take great pride in the fact that our racquets are trusted by players and coaches throughout tennis, from children playing at their local club to the Centre Court of Wimbledon where the likes of Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Maria Sharapova rely on their HEAD racquets to perform at the highest level.”
For 2014 Judy will be equipped with HEAD’s latest racquet, the HEAD YouTek™ Graphene Radical, which is made from the world’s strongest and lightest material and offers an optimal redistribution of weight to provide better handling, allowing the player to swing with more power, using less effort.
