I listen to all of the episodes and went to their London show earlier this year, so it is an amazing coup to be able to get them to Wrexham for a special evening of lively tennis chat with plenty of interaction with the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting that they are going to be part of the Lexus Wrexham Open week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe event is sure to be a sell out, so I would urge people keen to come along to get the last few remaining tickets as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lexus Wrexham Open, a W100 tournament that\u2019s part of the ITF World Tennis Tour, takes place on the indoor courts at Wrexham Tennis &amp; Padel Centre between October 19-26.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring British and international stars, including players ranked in the world\u2019s top 100, it\u2019s the biggest event in women\u2019s tennis to be staged in the UK in 2025, outside of the grass court season.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for The Tennis Podcast live show, with doors opening at 6.30pm, are priced \u00a327.80 and available to purchase via the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/the-tennis-podcast-live-in-wrexham-tickets-1576277060119\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pictured: The Tennis Podcast team, from left, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts will present a live show at Wrexham\u2019s Grove Park Theatre on Wednesday, October 22.<\/p>\n<p>Spotted something?
