British tennis sensation Emma Raducanu has taken coaching to the next level with an extraordinary lesson using new technology. Despite being on a training camp in Abu Dhabi, the former US Open winner appeared as a live 3D hologram in London to give a personalized coaching session to two young tennis players.

Raducanu‘s innovative lesson came as a complete surprise to 14-year-old Sam Clague and 12-year-old T’nae Diamond Paisley, who were in London while Raducanu was over 4,000 miles away. As part of her promotion work for Vodafone, the world No 85 delivered the live tennis lesson in real time over Vodafone’s 5G network using innovative 3D holographic technology.

A 5G hologram of Raducanu appeared on the court at the All England Club’s Community Tennis Centre, allowing her to provide a personal coaching session to the youngsters. Raducanu was able to watch the youngsters hit tennis balls live before giving advice and tips on their technique. The youngsters had the chance to ask their tennis idol questions and capture a hologram selfie with her.

Raducanu, who is Vodafone’s Play Your Way to Wimbledon ambassador, said, “The next generation of tennis starts with the future generation of players. Coaching Sam and T’nae in the first-ever 5G hologram lesson only scratches the surface with this type of technology and hopefully, it means coaches will be able to train the next Wimbledon champion wherever they are in the world. It was great to be able to see the kids and be able to do this from 4,000 miles away with 5G, I think the connection was really cool.“
