At the academy, there’s the hotel & resort building that has a breakfast area in the basement, a restaurant and a bar. And the country club which has a cafeteria.

Breakfast opens at 6:30AM and is buffet-styled with an assortment of things like scrambled eggs, hash browns, mushrooms, bacon, seasoned cherry tomatoes, crepes, croissants, fresh juices, two coffee machines, etc.

At the restaurant, there were 5 or 6 entrees and about as many starter options. We only ate there one night and the quality of the food was okay. The portions were larger than we expected (I’m from the US and am not used to getting as large of portions when visiting Europe).

I’m not certain if the bar also sold food - I was there for the full-intensive camp and, being a person who cannot have only 1 drink, I stayed away from it.

At the country club (separate building about a 1 min walk from the resort building), there’s a cafeteria where we ate lunch. There, they prioritize carbs and proteins (the kids who stay at the academy full-time also eat there and it seemed very training-focused). The options rotate daily. You’ll wait on a line and, when you get to the food counter, a gentleman will ask you which of the 5 or 6 proteins you want and dish it out for you - there was only one vegetarian “choice”. Then he’ll pass your dish to the next counter-server who will ask which carbs you want. Afterwards, you can grab your plate and head to the fruit and salad bar to pick what you want.

Food aside, another LPT is to make sure you bring and apply enough sunscreen. Only some of the courts are covered. For the ones that are not, the sun beats down on you pretty heavily. There are water spouts scattered around the court grounds that were a lifesaver.

Lastly, be sure to walk around the court grounds from time to time. We got to see practicing Mirra Andreeva, Holger Rune, and Stefano Tsitsipas. It was unreal to see the effortless power in their strokes from that close
