This is a gentle reminder of the guidelines to follow when arranging and playing any club tournament matches.
While we’re keen that all rounds are completed by the deadline, please remember that tournament matches do not get priority over other play. However, once started, the tournament match should be allowed to finish.
Also, matches shouldn’t be organised during the club’s social play periods, so please avoid these times:
We’re excited to invite you to a day of fun on Saturday 12th July.
Parent & Child Tournament 11:00am – 1:00pm
This event is all about having fun on the tennis court and creating great family memories. Parents and children of any level are welcome and will play against each other in a friendly doubles format.
This event is open to children born between 2011- 2018. We will then divide into different age groups on the day.
To enter, please email Marina on [email protected] with your name, your child's name and your child's date of birth.
Entry deadline: 7th July
We’d love to see as many families as possible take part.
Adult Tournament 2:00 – 4:00pm
Open to all abilities, with matches played with a handicap scoring system to ensure a great game for everyone.
Please enter in advance so we can plan numbers and groupings.
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.
Thursday 19th June – St Anthony’s School Sports Day This will be the main event. We kindly ask all members to be aware that parts of the grounds may be busier than usual.
Friday 27th June – Hereward House School Sports Day
Firstly, please remember to put Finals Day in your diaries, Sunday 28th September, as well as our presentation evening on Saturday 4th 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.
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.
