THPod 2.44: Courtside with Portsmouth & District Chair Michael Isaacs

Send us Fan Mail

We close our winter coverage with a courtside interview with Michael Isaacs, the chair of the Portsmouth & District LTA.

Michael has led a rejuvenation of inter-club tennis in the Portsmouth area for more than 15 years, helping re-establisb a league that is now fully competitive with every district in Hampshire. 

We talk about Michael’s journey to become chair, why it is that league leaders are so busy, and what exactly it means to support “normal tennis players”.

Michale also shares some of the origins of the Solent Cup, and hints at what might be done to spark more membership at clubs among under-40s.
