A grand slam-worthy mansion in Brighton, Victoria, has hit the market, with ties to tennis royalty.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom French château at 25 Menzies Avenue, previously owned by Aussie doubles legend Todd Woodbridge, is on offer for up to $8.2 million.

Woodbridge, star player-turned-Nine sports broadcaster (covering this year’s Australian Open) with 16 Grand Slam doubles titles to his name, is best known for his partnership with Mark Woodforde.

Located on the edge of Brighton Beach, the grand tri-level home on offer was sold by Woodbridge to the current owner for $3.5 million in November 2009. Woodbridge purchased the property for $2.6 million in August 2004, Pricefinder records reveal.
