This is how it works:
- We have doubles and singles rounds!
- Players/teams are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- The league is mixed sex, 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!)
- In doubles teams may be any combination of gender
- Contact details are emailed and posted to each player's account page
- 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

You started well 3.0 and managed to win five straight games but could not convert the set..2nd set you had 3 match points on my serve (5:6) however, i managed to get to tie break... and had 4 set points (leading 6:2). Still could not convert one single point and you won 6 straight points. Well done and all the very best. Ankle is slightly sore but not too bad," -- Nana

Managed to get to a tie break and let (2:6) having 4 set points. Somehow I was unable to close the game once again and you won 6 straight points winning the match. Well done.

- "Good to play Ryan again. He’s an excellent competitor and this was the despite the score this was best and closest of our matches between us. Some really good shots both forehand and backhand were the difference. Some really long games that went back and forward to Deuce. The game at 2-3 proved the turning point in set 1, where Ryan saved at least 3 break points to change momentum. Conditions were swealtering humid but it was a really good standard. Well played.

Collapse AllManchester Parks Doubles - Round 4 | Thursday 23 May 2019 to Wednesday 31 July 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 26 June 2019)
Twenty-six matches were played this round which is very good going, especially for doubles where getting four people on court together is never easy. Thank you for supporting the doubles league. We really hope we can keep it growing over the next few rounds!
Group Summary:
Shingi & George will be kicking themselves for not playing a few more matches as with three good wins under their belt, including a win over the eventual group winners, this could have been their moment! We are sure they will be back to try again but for now it is huge congratulations to Dominic & Gian who not only won four matches but were one of only two teams to earn their bonus points. An excellent group with a host of excellent matches. Well played all.
