Five splendid spas to practice your tennis shot

It’s game, set and match at Wimbledon this week. The rackets have started swinging over at Centre Court as thousands hoard at the southwest London tennis court to watch the game, sip Pimm’s and devour strawberries and cream.

If all the excitement has got you in the mood for a volley or two, we’ve picked out our favourite spa hotspots for a game of tennis, where you can indulge in a facial or massage (we don’t want tennis elbow) and soak up the sunshine.

Surrey

This is one offer to definitely take a shot at.
