Liverpool Hope International Tennis
Tournament 2002-2016
by Anders Borg Tournament Director
The Liverpool Hope International Tennis Tournament (LITT) was
established in 2002 as a warm up event for Wimbledon to give top
ATP and WTA players as much grass court practice as possible prior
to the most important tennis tournament in the world. The event
organisers Northern Vision has since 2002 gathered an incredible list of the world’s best players competing in Liverpool such
as Novak Djorkovic, David Ferrer, Mardy Fish, Marat Safin, Caroline
Wozniacki, Laura Robson and Viktoria Azarenka to mention a few.
The Tournament added on legends to its program in 2004 and has
since hosted the three most famous tennis players of the Open
era, Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Martina Navratilova,as well as
Martina Hingis, Virgina Wade , Ilie Nastase, Michael Stich, Richard
Krajicek, former British Number One and US Open Finalist, Greg
Rusedski and the Iranian tennis trickster with the unmistakable
‘tash’, Mansour Bahrami.
Northern Vision carries out lot of work at grass route level and runs
one of the most extensive CSR programs for tennis in the UK. During the kids day only in 2015 our program set an incredible world
record in the largest tennis lesson ever staged were 806 kids from
schools around Liverpool participated. In 2015 the event reached
out further to the very grass roots of sport by offer three weeks
of free tennis in the most busy shopping center in the UK north
of London, Liverpool One, and further promotions at John Lennon
Airport , The Central Station and the Exchange Flags all courtesy
of our Presenting Sponsors JLA, Merseyrail and The Commercial Bid
Company .
We have introduced over 80,000 children to tennis through our
School Programme during the Liverpool International. Moving
forward we will work closely with Liverpool City Council to guide as
many of the children who attend the programme in the park into
public tennis clubs in Liverpool.
In addition to our CSR program Liverpool International has projects
involving students, local businesses and charities, making it a very
community oriented event . Our partnership with the title sponsor
Liverpool Hope University, has added extra value to the tournament
in terms of the promotion of Education, Sport, Health and Business
Networking.
Our relationship with Liverpool City Council is invaluable, but for
this event to be sustainable due to the austerity faced by the public
sector it is important for the private sector to embrace our initiative for sport and bringing world class tennis to the North West. I
hope you will find the content of this brochure interesting and that
we can meet up to discuss opportunities further.
Thank you for reading!

NIKE JUNIOR INTERNATIONAL LIVERPOOL
(14TH TO 22ND NOVEMBER)
The Second ITF Nike Junior International Event will be organised by Northern Vision at Wavertree Tennis Centre as part of our all year
long Community Programme. We aim to bring talented national and international youngsters not only promote Liverpool as a city of
tennis but to also bring local kids to see and compete (through wildcards) against international junior players of their age. Wavertree is
a fantastic venue for tennis and it is our aim and hopes to use it for several other events throughout the year. Additionally, the event is
part of our initiative the Liverpool Tennis Foundation, set up by Northern Vision and supported by LTA and Liverpool City Council to make
an active difference to the lives of thousands of young people throughout Liverpool – developing transferable life skills of self esteem,
respect for others , the ability to work in a team in addition to fight obesity and crime.
LIVERPOOL HOPE UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL
TENNIS TOURNAMENT SMASHES WORLD RECORD
Liverpool has officially smashed the world record for the largest
ever tennis lesson according to the Guinness Book of Records –
beating the marker set by Andy Murray’s mum Judy in March
The Liverpool Hope University International Tennis Tournament
organisers invited local schools to take part in the record attempt
on June 18, the day before the tournament, which featured former
Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, began.
Guided by coaches, including Merseyside’s own Wimbledon legend
Barry Cowan, 680 children took part in the session. It meant
Liverpool comfortably beat Murray’s Guinness World Record of 406
children taking part in a lesson at Flushing Meadows in the US.
The record has now been independently verified by Guinness World
Records and although it was hard work, Cowan said the verification
of the record made it all worthwhile.
E VENTS - SPORTS MARKE TING - PL AYER MANAGEMENT
“It was a fantastic day and all the children were great,” said
Cowan. “It is not easy to conduct such a large session and to
organise it has added to the challenge, but I am so proud that I
have been able to set a World Record in my home city, at my home
tournament and that so many local young people have been able
to share in that.”
Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson led the plaudits following the
announcement the record would stand.
“Congratulations to everyone who took part in this record-breaking
tennis coaching lesson,” he said. “They should rightly be proud
of themselves for making history. One of the great aspects of the
Liverpool International Tennis Tournament is the way in which it
is inspiring the next generation of tennis players and encouraging
young people to take up the sport.”
Ian McKenna, Director of Development at Liverpool Hope University
said: “Breaking a world record is a fantastic achievement, and I am
sure that sense of accomplishment will stay with all of the young
people involved for a long time. I hope that their experience as
record breakers will help them develop a lifelong love of sport as
fun, as part of a healthy lifestyle or even a career.”
Liverpool Hope University International Tennis Tournament’s
Anders Borg said that he was immensely proud to bring the record
to the city.
“We have been running the tournament in Liverpool since 2002,”
he said. “Throughout that time we have worked hard to introduce
young people to the sport as an alternative to football.
“To have so many schools get involved with this effort and
succeed in bringing the record to the city of Liverpool is a fantastic
achievement and every pupil who took part should be proud that
they have made history.
“Hopefully this will inspire them to go out to tennis clubs, playing
fields and open spaces all over the city playing tennis and who
knows, the next big British talent may well be right here in
Liverpool.”
