My passion for red clay courts is well known but it took a speculative trip to Europe late in 2009 to blend that passion with the ability to bring the real thing to Australia. It was the first time I had walked into a tennis club in Europe without the intention of playing tennis. The sole aim was to find out the answer to the question that had plagued me for so long.
Why were their clay courts so superior?
The answer proved to be simply, but without question, in the material used to construct the courts.
However not all red clays are the same.
As chance would have it, I found TERRE DAVIS, a highly repected material supplier based in Cremona Italy. My passion for the surface could now be complimented by a company who had an equivalent pride in their product.
TERRE DAVIS was founded in 1975 and currently supplies materials to many prestigious clubs in Europe and beyond including Monte Carlo Country Club and Foro Italico in Rome.
Until I made contact with them, they had never dreamed that their surface could be laid in Australia. We are now unshakeable partners with a mutual respect for each other.
My association with TERRE DAVIS has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I feel extremely fortunate and proud to be their Australian distribution agent.
