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-third 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. Sadly, the 2020 tournament had to be cancelled. However, 2021 brought a record number of entries and tennis of an extremely high standard. For a report, see Open Tennis Tournament 2021 under Latest News.

The 2022 Invitation Tournament, when we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the club, is scheduled for Friday 29th July to Monday 1st August.
