A New Tennis Journey at Sultanpur Farmhouse

A New Tennis Journey at Sultanpur Farmhouse 🎾 This weekend marked a refreshing new experience at the Sultanpur farmhouse—a serene escape tucked away from the city buzz. The property is expansive, featuring a stunning synthetic tennis court surrounded by peaceful silence. The only sounds you hear are the rhythmic bounce of the ball and the crisp snap of the racquet—pure bliss for any tennis lover. I had the privilege of playing with the owner, who brings serious pedigree to the game. A seasoned ITF tennis player over 40, he plays with powerful topspin and effortless precision. We rallied for nearly an hour, exchanging heavy shots and intense rallies. It was an exhilarating session—one of the best I’ve had in a long time. After cooling down from the match, we headed out for some delicious chap rolls to wrap up the day. Great tennis, great food, and a peaceful setting—what more could you ask for?

I arrived with my racket, a few coaching plans, and an open mind. What I found was a community eager to learn, play, and connect. Coaching Highlights   - Hitting rallies with Adults - Medium to long rallies primarily hit groundstrokes from the back of the court - Physical and mental health The Court Itself The court was synthetic court surrounded by nature and buildings. Between forehands and backhands, I caught glimpses of schoolbags bouncing and leaves rustling—tennis felt like a meditation in motion.
