The stars of the tour headed for much-needed off-season breaks after a gruelling 2016. Who holidayed best? We feature our favourites in the latest Friday Five.

Tennis players sure know how to treat themselves during the off-season break.

And why shouldn’t they? After 10 months of slugging it out at tournaments all over the world, their bodies need the chance to recharge.

Many of the players head off to exotic locations to forget about tennis and spend some relaxing time with friends, family or partners.

This Friday, we present what we feel were the five best getaways of the 2016 off-season.
