Running every weekend, the TennisUK matchplay programme (matchplays.com) is a series of separate one-day events designed for match practice against other players of a similar standard.

Events take place at several venues and usually run on Saturday and Sunday from mid-afternoon until late evening, although there are some daytime events too. During the school holidays, events are occasionally held during weekdays.

In normal circumstances, each successful applicant takes place in TWO matches per event using a 4-player matchplay "box" or 3-player round-robin format. If we are unable to offer a player two matches then a proportionate refund is made (conditions apply). Players are drawn in groups against others with the same LTA rating helping to ensure close and enjoyable matches. All matches count towards the periodic ratings assessments carried out by the Lawn Tennis Association, who support the programme.

Players may enter as few or as many events as they wish. In many cases entry deadlines are 4:00pm on the Tuesday immediately prior to each event. Players may also cancel an application without charge up to this time. Our online application system is quick and simple. Applications may also be made by post or fax.

An early entry is strongly recommended as many events are oversubscribed. Click here to view the details of the programme and/or to make an online application.
