Dubai: Jelena Jankovic, former world No.1 tennis player from Serbia, will be visiting the Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa this Saturday to challenge guests to a game of tennis.

Guests at the five-star luxury hotel will have the chance to match their skills with Jankovic, a Dubai regular, between 3pm and 4.30pm. Those who dare to compete with her can enjoy a 25 per cent discount on food and beverages in Luciano’s, Al Basha, Fish Bazaar, The Underground Pub, or Polo Bar the same day.

Alison Stockton, Recreation Manager of Elixir Spa & Health Club commented: “We are excited to confirm the arrival of Jelena Jankovicć this weekend at Habtoor Grand. We are certain our tennis members at Elixir Spa & Health Club and tennis fans of Dubai will be thrilled to hear they will be able to battle it out with Jelena.

“Once guests have rallied in the court, we welcome them to dine in at selected food and beverage outlets at Habtoor Grand for a discounted price. We have a feeling they may be thirsty and slightly peckish afterwards.”

The hotel boasts four state-of-the-art tennis courts and also offers individual tennis lessons with a head coach. Lessons start from Dh225 for members and Dh250 for non-members.
