Patrick Mouratoglou, founder of Tennis Majors and mastermind behind the innovative UTS Tour, expands his global reach with the launch of Mouratoglou Tennis Academy Australia. This exciting venture promises to reshape the tennis landscape Down Under by offering elite training, educational opportunities, and a haven for future champions.
Nestled within the idyllic Cape Otway Road Australia (CORA) resort on Victoria's Surf Coast, the academy will mirror Mouratoglou's renowned facility in Nice, France. It boasts an impressive 48-court complex, including 33 dedicated tennis courts, a show court, and a clubhouse equipped with a gym and swimming facilities. Beyond the courts, the academy will partner with an Australian-accredited boarding school, providing approximately 200 students with a dynamic blend of academic rigour and world-class tennis training. Camps open to the public, particularly during school holidays, round out the academy's comprehensive offerings.
“This is a big move for our brand,” Mouratoglou said in a statement. “We have always loved Australia, a genuine ‘tennis nation’, and this partnership is an exciting development for the region, providing educational and career opportunities for young students and athletes.”
Echoing this sentiment, Daryl Pelchen, co-founder of CORA, highlights the significance of this collaboration: "Mouratoglou’s involvement illustrates the potency and relevance of the CORA project in a global context. Created to represent the best of Australia to the rest of the world, we are delighted to welcome Mouratoglou as an anchor tenant at CORA. With a shared vision for excellence, Mouratoglou Academy Australia at CORA will provide a unique destination to both identify and shape champions.”
With its world-class facilities, renowned coaching, and dynamic academic partnership, Mouratoglou Tennis Academy Australia is poised to redefine tennis training in Australia. Mark your calendars for 2027, when the first cohort of future tennis stars enters this exciting new chapter in Australian tennis history.
