This is how it works:
- Players are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
- Groups are put together by standard and there can be any combination of men and women in a group (we do not guarantee a balance of men and women and you could be the only man in a group of women or vice versa!)

- Players arrange their own matches
- You can play on any court that suits both players
The league is:
- For everyone over the age of 18
- 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

Towards the end of the 2nd set I started attacking at the net more which brought some success.

Reveal CommentEdward Mills bt Winston Balfourth (Oct 30) 6-2, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Fun match played over 2 sessions. In the first I felt we played some high quality tennis. I was hitting my shots very consistently but anything that dropped short Winston would hit a winner. The second session seemed more cagey, not helped by the distraction of people walking on our court and even fireworks as Winston served to stay in the match. Winston has all the shots so is great to play against," -- Edward

- "Winston and I returned to Bromley Tennis Centre to finish the match we started earlier in the round. It was all square after two sets and things looked to be going my way in the third before Winston battled back from 5-1 down to 5-4. I managed to squeak over the line in the final game, but Winston deserves a lot of credit for some aggressive tennis. Well played," -- Ben

Player Comments:
- "Fun game played on the sandy ‘clay’ at Linkside. I broke early in the 1st set and it remained on serve for the remainder of the set due to some strong serving from Guy. I managed to pull ahead early in the 2nd set and keep the momentum going to the end despite some tight games. Pleased with the win as when Guy is on song he can blow you off the court as he showed in our last match." -- Edward

In fact, the last time we played, I didn't manage to win any games at all, with Luke beating me 6-0, 6,0 on that day (ssshhh!), so I knew this was going to be challenging match for me!

Player Comments:
- "The last time we played, a year ago, Hassan took that one so I expected a challenging match but what a tough battle this turned out to be! We ended up playing for around 2 hours and 45 mins! The first two sets were mirror opposites in that the person who had leads in both sets, ultimately had to deal with the disappointment with not winning them. The final set was equally thrilling, and to both our credit, even at the late stage of the game, we did not tire and kept fighting to the end. Hassan has a lovely game, hit some lovely shots and was able to manoeuvre the ball around beautifully. The result was so close it could easily have gone the other way. It was a pleasure to play against him again and I look forward to playing Hassan again!" -- Tamzin

I managed to level up to 4-4, but from there, David held strong to take us into a decider. David is great player, strong ground strokes and is like a goalkeeper at the net; it was very difficult to get the ball past him! Despite the match being very close, it was played in great spirit. This combined with quality tennis made it a great match to play. Thanks David!" -- Tamzin

Player Comments:
- "The match spanned over 3 hours and two sessions. Almost every game in the third set went to deuce. It was full of twists and turns and Anna makes you win each point thrice, running after everything! Thoroughly enjoyed it and got lucky to win it in the end, but really could have gone either way.

Player Comments:
- "A punishing game on a chilly afternoon at Lee Valley. Louise raced ahead at the start, taking the first three games before I settled in a bit and dragged things back to take the first set. The second set was almost a mirror image - I went three up before Louise found a great run of form and forced the tiebreak. A very close match, not sure I would have had the stamina for a third set!" -- Benjamin

Player Comments:
- "Great 3 set match at Stratford Park in the low winter sunshine that made ball spotting from other end a bit hit and miss, in every sense. The 1st set was a blur from my point of view, as Marcel raced to a 6-1 lead. The next two sets were much closer, with some long rallies and multiple deuce games. I somehow took the 2nd set 6-4. Marcel fought back from 5-2 down in the 3rd set to 5-4 but I managed to hold serve to take the set 6-4." -- Trevor

Player Comments:
- "Another enjoyable instalment in our long-standing rivalry at Lee Valley. We started with our usual mutual failure to hold serve and played a gruelling first set with several comebacks before Trevor took it on a tiebreak. The second set felt closer than the score suggests, with some nice long rallies and unconventional shots. By the third set we were both exhausted but my momentum took me through to get the win." -- Benjamin
