Tournaments

The Club holds a number of tournaments throughout the year, details for 2021 (Covid allowing) are below. Matches against other clubs are also arranged.

Annual Invitation Tournament

The club is well known for its Annual Invitation Tournament, now in its ninety-second year, which attracts top players from clubs across the UK and Europe, as well as entrants from both Harvard and Yale universities in some years. The 2019 tournament saw some highly competitive tennis in mixed weather in front of an appreciative crowd. For a report on the event, see Open Tennis Tournament 2019 under Latest News.

Regrettably, the 2020 Invitation Tournament had to be cancelled. The 2021 Annual Invitation Tournament will hopefully run from Friday 30 July to Monday 2 August. Enquiries to Heather Mott, Tournament Secretary, on 07808 160488 or [email protected]
