THE TENNIS UK MATCHPLAYS.COM programme.
One-day events taking place at Hatfield, Southampton and the LTA National Tennis Centre in Roehampton. All events take place at the weekends in the afternoons and evenings on INDOOR courts, with the exception of the LTA National Tennis Centre, which take place outdoors. Matchplay events are run in several age groups and provide an excellent means of match practice for both adults and juniors against opponents of similar standard. Results are submitted to the LTA for ratings purposes and the programme has now been established more than 8 years.
Matchplay events tend to be very popular in the winter, so an early application is recommended. Please remember that you may cancel any application without charge up to the published cancellation deadlines (4:00pm on the Tuesday prior to each event). Players and parents are reminded that applying for multiple events on the SAME DAY (within the Tennis UK matchplays.com programme) IS permitted – our system ensures that no player can be selected for more than one matchplay event/venue per day. Players submitting multiple applications stand a far greater chance of selection.
Please visit www.tennisuk.net now to make an online application for any of these competitions. DO remember that unlike the LTA's online entry system, we do not charge you when you make an application for an event. We only bill players once they are ACCEPTED for a competition.
Cancellations are also permitted without charge (up to stipulated deadlines) for ALL of our competitions.
We look forward to receiving your applications to these tournaments and wish you every success with your tennis over the Christmas and New Year period.
If you need any further information then please do not hesitate to contact us by email or telephone.
