It's June and it's time for strawberries and time for tennis at Devonshire Park. This year sees a higher profile line-up in both the men's and women's draws, with former Wimbledon champions Venus and Serena Williams and Lleyton Hewitt in action. It's also time for Nick Webborn and Stuart Doree to head down to Devonshire Park to look after the players. Nick has been the sports medicine doctor to the players for several years and his services are well utilised with players coming in and asking for his acupuncture or an ultrasound scan, a rare service on the tour. Stuart has long days in the men's locker room providing massage services for the players. So we apologise for their absence from the clinic for the week but the experience this brings enhances the level of service we can provide to you in the clinic. |
