The Annual Open Club Championships are contested in five categories and are open to all ages. The categories are Men’s Singles, Ladies Singles, Men’s Doubles, Ladies Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

The matches are a great way to get some competitive tennis played, as well a chance to get to know people at the club that you may not have met before. No matter whether you’re an advanced player or new to match play, we’d love you to enter and get involved.

The Format​

The matches will be played as a Knockout with Consolation Draws, or in Round Robin format if there are only three players/teams in a category.

This means that you will play in a minimum of at least two matches, but hopefully more depending on how many entries are received.

The Rules

The matches will be played as a ‘Best of 2 Tiebreak Sets with Match Tie Break Decider’ format.

So that’s best of two normal sets with the first to 6 games and a tiebreak to 7 points (with 2 clear) if it’s 6 all for each of the first two sets. if its one set all you will play a match tie break set to 10 points with 2 points clear to decide the winner.

Arranging the Matches

You will receive a play by date and your fixture needs to be played by that date. This date can be re-arranged between the two players/teams to suit, however it must not be played later than the ‘play by date’.

Any player or team who can not play before the ‘play by date’ must concede the match to their opponents. If neither player/team was able to play by the given date, the winner will be decided by a coin toss.

The reason that matches need to be played promptly, is to keep the competition moving, so that it doesn’t effect getting the later rounds played in time.

Entry Fee & Deadline

Entries for the Club Championships are just £5 per person for each category that you enter. Entries close at midnight on 31st May 2023 and you can enter via the button below.

We will be playing the first round of matches in June and the following rounds will be spaced out evenly through the Summer. Depending on the number of entries, there will normally be 3 of 4 weeks between rounds.

All Finals will be played on the second Saturday of September. If bad weather means matches can’t be completed on Saturday 9th Sept, they will roll over to the reserve day, which is Sunday 10th Sept.

Please put these dates in your diary. The finals dates won’t be changed unless rain stops play, so please only enter if you can commit to playing on those days.
