The five-story building, with an area of 36 thousand square meters, is designed in the shape of a prism with inclined stained glass windows. Fifteen indoor hard tennis courts, four squash courts, a 25-meter swimming pool and a thermal complex, an innovative development center with a gym, as well as areas for training in sections of table tennis, badminton, stretching, cycling and other sports . The equipment everywhere is ultra-modern. In particular, on the tennis courts there is a Track Tennis video analysis system (with interactive training tools and the ability to analyze the game), everything necessary for video broadcasting. There is also a climate control system and several sports court lighting modes. The president of the Russian Tennis Federation, Shamil Tarpishchev, appreciated the opportunities that the palace opens: “The fairy tale that was created here took my breath away. It is real, because tennis has begun, and thank you very much,” he addressed Sergei Sobyanin. “Last year, Muscovites won 300 international tournaments. I think that with these courts there will be even more.”
As you know, it is no coincidence that tennis is considered one of the most expensive sports. The equipment to practice it and the equipment, the rental of a court, the payment of a coach, etc., are not cheap, however, in the capital there are already 39 free groups for tennis fans. And in the new palace not only professional athletes will be able to practice: around three thousand sports fans will be able to visit the slopes every day. In addition, discounts are offered for preferential categories of Muscovites and young athletes will be able to enroll in a children’s tennis school. During the warm season, tennis in Luzhniki can also be played on the territory adjacent to the palace: there will be seven clay tennis courts, two padel courts and one beach tennis court. Therefore, the army of tennis players, which now numbers more than 54 thousand citizens, will probably increase, as will the number of contenders for the title of the first rackets: first from the club, then from the city, from the country and then, you see. , the world.
