Meet our LUX Pro Mehdi

Could you kindly provide insight into your background as a professional in tennis and padel, both as an athlete and coach?

My journey began at the age of 5 in Tanger, Morocco. I embarked on a path filled with participation in numerous national and international tournaments, including ITF Tournaments, within the junior category. Notably, I achieved the position of Vice Champion of Morocco Juniors in 2006.

Since 2016, I have served as a sports director in several tennis clubs across France. These roles have afforded me invaluable experiences in club management and tennis instruction for diverse levels.

Among my notable accomplishments is my tenure as the head coach for the women's team of Mulhouse (Alsace, France), competing at the esteemed PRO B division. This role proved particularly gratifying as I mentored players who held rankings within the top 500 globally.

Could you recount any remarkable success stories or inspiring examples of guests who have partaken in tennis/padel coaching sessions at our partner resort?

One inspiring example comes to mind from Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech. A guest arrived at the resort with minimal experience in tennis, but a strong desire to improve her skills and enjoy the sport. Through the LUX Tennis program, she signed up for coaching sessions and quickly found herself immersed in the world of tennis.

Under the guidance of the dedicated coaching staff, our guest made remarkable progress in a short amount of time. With personalized instruction tailored to her skill level and goals, she gained confidence on the court and began to develop a deeper understanding of the game. Beyond just improving her technique, she found that tennis provided her with a sense of joy and accomplishment that she hadn't experienced before.

As our guest continued her coaching sessions throughout her stay at Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech, she not only improved her tennis skills but also forged meaningful connections with fellow players and coaches. She discovered a newfound passion for the sport and left the resort feeling empowered and inspired to continue her tennis journey back home.

Our guest’s story serves as a testament to the transformative power of tennis coaching and the dedication of the LUX Tennis team at Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech. It's a reminder that tennis is a sport for everyone, regardless of age or experience level, and that with the right guidance and support, anyone can discover the joy of playing tennis.
