Clay Tennis Courts Abound in the Splendor of South American Spring
Cold weather tennis blues? Autumn in the northern hemisphere means spring in Argentina. In the northern hemisphere when cooler days set in, many people chose to take their game indoors, but just as the leaves are falling off the trees and it’s getting chilly on the courts up north, down in Argentina spring is alive in all of it’s glory and clay courts are plentiful.
According to an article written by Britain’s newspaper The Indepedent in 2008, Argentina is teeming with tennis courts, and this country loves clay.
Argentina has produced such tennis greats as Guillermo Vilas, Gabriela Sabatini, David Nalbandian, and Juan Monaco, and one look at it’s courts and intensity of training tells you that the next generation promises more big names. In this hip, very fit euro-latin sports crazy country, it’s not hard to find a court.
Bill and I recently traveled to Argentina, played on courts throughout the country and I will say we were very impressed. One of our favorite places to play tennis and visit was Iguazu Falls.
