Local tennis players will get their chance to play with and against former Aussie pro tennis player and television personality Sam Groth.

This Friday at the Orange Indoor Tennis Centre, Sam will join ten teams from around the Central West for a friendly Fast4 round robin tournament.

Teams will each get two opportunities to ‘sub in’ Sam to their team for that crucial point. With a blistering recorded serve speed of 263 kilometres per hour, we’re not sure we want to be the one facing Sam!

The tournament kicks off at 6.30pm, but Sam will be on hand for Q&A session from 6pm. There will also be plenty of opportunities to snap a photo with Sam or grab his autograph. See you there!
