Two talented Hobart sisters improved their tennis skills so much during the COVID lockdowns and they have been accepted into a European tennis academy run by former world No. 1 Juan-Carlos Ferrero.

Zola Case-Boag, 13, and sister Escher, 12 are chasing their tennis dreams and will be among the youngest participants in Ferrero’s Elite Tennis Academy in Spain from next month.

Proud dad Zan Boag—who won the 2021 Hobart Open Doubles Championships alongside the girls’ coach Edward Bourchier—said Zola and Escher took their game to the next level during the pandemic, aided by the building of a backyard tennis court on the family’s large property.

“The girls used to look like they couldn’t play much at all,” Mr Boag said. “But then suddenly they were playing tennis four to six hours a day because they didn’t have much else to do; it was quite a good thing for them.” Mr Boag said the whole family would relocate(搬迁) to support the girls—they’ve “sold the farm”. The youngest two, brothers Wolfe and Huxley, are set to enrol in the local Spanish school, while Mr Boag and his wife Antonia are able to continue their jobs as magazine publishers from home offices. “They’ve been accepted full-time and can stay as long as they wish,” Mr Boag said. “At first, we’re looking at one to two years, but they will stay on if things go well. It’s just amazing to see my daughters trying their best to achieve their dream.”

The girls’ coach Edward Bourchier said the two had improved a lot in the 18 months he had been working with them. “They’ve come a long way in understanding the game of tennis and what is required in terms of training, and how to apply themselves to training to become a professional player,” he said. “You see a lot of juniors go out and play but they don’t all understand the focus and quality of training required to keep getting better and better quickly.”
