- It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
- You can play on any court that suits both players
The league is:
- For everybody!
- We welcome beginners as well as advanced players.
- Don't worry that you won't be good enough - playing matches is the best way to improve, and we use an online questionnaire to assess people's ability so you play only people of a roughly similar level
- Affiliated to the LTA For adults aged 18 years and above
Key points
- Matches are best of three sets; if a set reaches 6 games all it is decided by a tiebreak
- The evening before the round starts you will receive an email with all the contact details of the players in your group
- Players are placed in groups according to past performance in the league and, for new players, their Player Standard Questionnaire
- Each player attempts to play each of the other player on their group once during the round
- If you complete three matches before the midpoint of a round you receive 2 bonus points and a bonus prize (either a pair of Local Tennis Leagues dampeners, or a tube of tennis balls).
- The winner of the group is the player with the most points at the end of the round
- The winner of the group wins a certificate and tennis prizes
- Where possible, winners of groups are promoted to the group above for the next round.

Player Comments:
- "A good game in perfect conditions. Hector has a very powerful serve and forehand but is just getting back into tennis so is looking to improve his consistency. I think if Hector had had a couple of games under his belt the outcome could have been very different, as he has some strong winning shots. Thanks for the game Hector." -- Richard

Player Comments:
- "What a time to be alive! Wimbledon is about to kick off (meaning Queen's is on), we're enjoying a long hot summer and Clapham Common Singles Round 39 has just started. The puritanical tennis fan knows the best tennis being played this summer is in the parks and commons up and down the country. It turns out that there are loads of them as they flocked to Kennington Park to welcome in the new round. The players put on such a show that it left the journalists covering the match running out of column inches to describe the action! There were winners, lobs, net-cords and even a cheeky slice or two. The players left having more new fans than when they arrived and as such the post-match autograph session lasted for hours. Well played and well done" -- Edward
