Picture this.

You’re lusting after a good game of tennis, but your lazy, good for nothing mates still think that playing a version on the console is the same thing.

What it feels like... to have two strokes

It’s just your luck to be attracted to a partner sport, one that when listed in your Tinder bio interests sounds like a subterranean sex move rather than a simple jolly with a racket.

Cue EasyTennis, a website designed so that you can find a tennis partner near you.


Does the name sound familiar? That’s because it’s part of the EasyGroup, the dayglo orange cotillion of EasyYouNameItYou’veGotIt collection of businesses.



Ran by entrepreneur Ganesh Rao, who won a £10,000 prize from Sir Stelios’ easyGroup to find a new Easy brand, the site specialises in matching up like-skilled tennis players to cavort with relish across the nation.

‘I’m delighted to welcome Ganesh and his team into the easy family of brands,’ said Sir Stelios, who we can picture hugging his new business partner as he wrote the statement.

‘EasyTennis is a great way to meet new friends and improve your game.

‘It’s also a great fit with our “easy” brand values – taking on the posh, expensive clubs and making tennis more accessible and affordable. Definitely for the many – not the few!’

Aside from Sir Stelios nicking Jeremy Corbyn’s favourite catchphrase, Ganesh Rao himself also has a few ideas to sell the scheme up his sleeve.

Ready to fuel the brand’s sex appeal, the new business owner is seen coquettishly attempting to hold hands with his fellow tennis partner on the new group’s website.

Prices start at just £2.99 per match-up with the first match-up for free. Not bad, eh?

So far, the site has had 3,500 sign-ups in the past week, and only hopes to expand its gain across their nation.

All we can hope is a tennis-inspired version of Airline makes its way onto our airwaves in consequence.

But either way, remember folks: tennis is for life, not just for Wimbledon.
