Four budding tennis players got VIP treatment and met one of the games all time greats in Paris recently thanks to GDF Suez.
Jazzi Plews, Lila Simpson, Lana Rush and Alex Herd, who are all supported by SportsAid and GDF Suez, rubbed shoulders with none other than French tennis legend Amelie Mauresmo at the GDF Suez Open.

After watching a full day of tennis from the best seats in the house, the four young athletes received the full hospitality experience at the GDF Suez player village before meeting the former world number one and Wimbledon champion.

Talking about the experience Lila said: “The trip was really good and the highlight was meeting Amelie Mauresmo and watching all of those great players! The whole experience has inspired me to keep training hard and playing the sport I love.”
