"I also would like to support Japanese children in learning English through tennis lessons as I did while growing up."


Chihiro Akimoto manages a tennis school for Japanese people in Melbourne, providing them with tennis lessons either in Japanese or English. 

With experience on the professional tennis tour, Chihiro has been giving tennis lessons to young children.
