Our courts will be top quality -groundsman Charman

Press ReleaseJun 10, 2011in Tennis

Devonshire Park groundsman Roy Charman knows what it takes to get the pristine lawns in shape for the AEGON International and he believes this year's courts are the best yet.

Charman spent four years at Devonshire Park in the 1970s before returning in 1995 and he has worked there ever since.

And with former Wimbledon champions in the form of Venus Williams and Lleyton Hewitt gracing the courts this year, Charman believes both the players and specators alike will see the benefits of his and his team's work.

"We've been working hard recently with the main event just around the corner and we are confident they will be top quality," said Charman.

"We could have done with a bit more rain recently but that's just something we have to deal with and we'll do our best to ensure they are looking their best."
