The Fab Five: Girl's Tennis Success at Five Seasons Family Sports Club
(L to R, front row): Straub, Lynch, Demeo, and Lexy Petrovic, in Spain, Aug. 2008.

“The Fab Five” can refer to Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Burr Ridge—as well as a crop of five freshmen girl’s tennis players that have grown their games at the spot renowned for developing youngsters' talent.

The quintet of tennis players recently served notice that they are already forces to be reckoned with, with a strong collective showing in the Illinois High School Association tennis tournament.

Ernesto Faisal, a club tennis pro who has served previously as Five Seasons’ junior tennis director, is among those who have helped nurture their development at Five Seasons, 6901 S. Madison.

“It’s rewarding to see them progressing so well,” said Faisal. “A variety of club pros here have spent a lot of time working on helping them enhance their skills and understand the game on all the different levels, from their technique, strategy and conditioning to developing solid training habits along the way.”
