The high temperatures we are now experiencing might tempt some of you into playing shirtless. Please don't. It's inappropriate. So please keep your shirt on.

Firstly, please remember to put Finals Day in your diaries, Sunday 28^th September, as well as our presentation evening on Saturday 4^th October. 

Getting Started:

• You can see who your opponent is by logging into Playwaze.com
• The dates that each round must be played by are shown in each of the tournament draws.
• You can contact your opponent to set up the match by finding their email or phone number on the ‘Members’ page.
• Please update the final score on PlayWaze once the match is complete.

Tournament Rules:

• Matches are to be arranged at a mutually convenient time and must be completed before the play by dates (can be seen at the top of each round). Please ensure you offer as many dates as possible and remain communicative throughout the process.  If the forecast is set to be bad, please try and have a backup date agreed before cancelling.
• If a player is more than 30 minutes late for an agreed start time, they will concede the first set.   
• If a player is over an hour late they will forfeit the match.
• If a player does not show up for an agreed match date and time, without any communication, they will forfeit the match. 
• Please bring your own balls (there will be none available at the club).
• Tournament matches do not get priority over courts but should be allowed to finish once started.

Adult Scoring Format:

• Matches are the best of 3 tie-break sets.
• If all players agree, in advance, a Championship 3rd set tie-break can be played (to 10 points) instead of a 3rd full set.

Junior Scoring Format:

• Each match is best of 3 short sets (FAST4).
• If it is one set all, a Championship tie-break is to be played (to 10 points).

We hope you have fun in the tournament and enjoy some competitive tennis, and that, win or lose, we’ll see you in September for Finals Day.

If you have any questions with any of the above please email Marina on [email protected] , Darell on [email protected]or Nicola on [email protected]

Good luck!

Saturday 4th October: Presentation Evening

Written on 13 June 2025.

Dear Tennis Members,

This year the medals and trophies from Finals Day will be presented on the evening of Saturday 4th October. 

As well as celebrating our 2025 champions, the evening will include entertainment, refreshments, and a thank you to Edward Ben-Nathan, who is standing down after 23 years as our Tennis Secretary. 

Many of you will know that Edward is renowned worldwide for his lightning serve and his diplomacy skills; fewer will know the hard work that took place during those 23 years to enable us to enjoy 7 all-weather floodlit courts, a pavilion with easily accessible toilets, a professional coaching team, and a club with a secure financial future. 

An evening of fun and celebration is the very least we owe him. 

So please save the date for what should be a spectacular event. 

Brondesbury: where entertainment is just a stone’s throw away.
