Ethan Mason Sports, of Lichfield, will be hosting the event at Edgbaston Priory Tennis Club on Sunday, February 3.

Guests will also enjoy an intimate breakfast and an evening with the mastermind behind Jamie Murray’s rise to the top of the doubles rankings.

Cayer said he can’t wait to get involved, adding: "I really enjoy these events, where you can talk tennis to people who love the sport and try to give them an insight into coaching that they perhaps would never normally get. Edgbaston has always been a great venue for tennis so I’m delighted to be returning and meeting lots of players and supporters.”

“This is the first time we’ve been able to get Louis Cayer to visit the Midlands and we want to make the most of his knowledge and expertise through a range of different activities that suit all ages,” explained John Donnelly, chairman of Ethan Mason Sports.

“It all kicks-off with an exclusive breakfast for nine people where guests can ask Louis about his career, coaching tips and tales from the hundreds of tournaments he’s been part of.

"We’ve also got an ‘audience with’ event planned for the evening, with Fix Radio Show Presenter Paul Burrell conducting an interview before opening up a Q&A to the floor. There’ll also be an opportunity for photographs.”

Juniors, adults and their coaches will also be able to take part in two coaching masterclasses, with Cayer providing on court-sessions covering technique, movement, the ‘three volleys’, match psychology and tips for playing as part of a doubles team.
