Amilla Maldives Resort and Residences will welcome Serbian former tennis pro Viktor Troicki for an exclusive two-week tennis residency on the island. The Davis Cup winner, who achieved a career high world ranking of No.12, will offer Amilla guests top-class tailored coaching, practice workshops and pro tips from 26 October to 6 November 2021.
Troicki became the first tennis player in the Open era to win all three major team competitions, with the World Team Cup in 2009, Davis Cup in 2010 and partnering with Novak Djokovic to win the inaugural ATP Cup in 2020. The 35-year-old announced his retirement from professional tennis at the end of June.
Amilla Maldives has a long tradition of serving up some of the biggest names in tennis for one-off exhibitions, residencies and clinics, giving guests unrivalled access to some of the sport’s all-time greats. Troicki is following in the footsteps of former world No.1 and three time grand slam champion Angelique Kerber; former world No.4 and newly crowned Olympic gold medallist Alexander “Sasha” Zverev and his brother, fellow pro Mischa Zverev; former US Open men’s singles champion and world No.1 Pat Rafter; and most recently Russian tennis pro Philipp Davydenko.
Arthur Libaud, Amilla’s in-house LUX tennis resident pro, said: “To have someone like Viktor Troicki coming here is a huge opportunity for our guests to learn from one of the best players in tennis. I have watched him play on TV throughout his career, so it will definitely be an exciting learning experience for me as well to meet him in person.”
Aimed at players of all ages, and open to all skill levels from beginners to budding professionals, Troicki will lead daily programmes of high energy drills, technical skills and competition tactics, all complemented by Amilla’s exceptional tennis facilities. With two floodlit hard courts, complimentary equipment hire and a range of coaching programmes to suit their ability, guests at Amilla Maldives have every reason to refine their stroke play this autumn.
Guests at Amilla also have access to the resort’s daily programme of action-packed and educational activities, exciting events and sporting and wellness packages.
The two-week tennis camp by Viktor Troicki is complementary and exclusive to guests at Amilla Maldives. Private lessons are also available by request for a fee. For further information see amilla.com
