- 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

Player Comments:
- "Score wasn't a clear reflection as there were some very tight points and many games going to deuce. Strong ground strokes and solid tennis all-round made it a very enjoyable match to play - many thanks Gareth!" -- Nick
Player Comments:
- "This was Rory's 1st tennis match in London in more than a year since he has moved from Chester. It was a struggle for him to control his shots in the first set. But he put his acts together with beautiful serves and volleys in the second set to be 4-2 up. I had to work really hard to stay in the set to win the second set. We have played a lot of Duce games in the second set. Happy to win the first match of this group which looks like going to be very competitive. Mamun " -- Muhammad
