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

The second set was a different story as Terry started to find these forehand winners and I couldn’t reply to them as I wasn’t hitting the shots that I was in the first set. Final set was tight and got to 4-4 then I held on to my serve to make it 4-5 and it got to deuce in the next game which was the norm in this match and I broke Terry’s serve to win the match.

Congratulations to everyone in this round for organising and playing so many good matches. A couple of withdrawals which is always unfortunate, but other than that, nearly all matches were completed, well done. Good to see so many partnerships continuing from round to round, and the opportunity to play and re-play other pairs, getting better each time! We look forward to seeing you all again in the next round, don't forget to sign up!

Player Comments:
- "A great game as always against Jordan and Thomas at Eaton Park! A ridiculous match where almost every game went to deuce, including several long rallies where net play and heavy baseline hitting was matched on both sides of the net. Ultimately on the day Leon and Mark just edged it but it really could have gone either way. Really enjoyable game and we're looking forward to the next one!" -- Mark
