I am very interested in learning to play tennis. Never held a tennis racket before, although have played badminton.

Completely agree with you, a few swings here and there will make it better and better.

If you are looking for office wear you can try Iora, G2000, Mango.
Also dig through the small little boutique shops.
It's not easy to find clothes here but it's not so difficult either.
