FREE TENNIS BALLS
Every player who completes three matches by the midway point of any round is sent a FREE can of tennis balls! Plus there are great offers all the time in our shop.
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
- Matches are best of three sets; if a set reaches 6 games all it is decided by a tiebreak

- The winner of the group wins a voucher for £20 to be spent in the Local Tennis League online shop. A winner's certificate is also available on the winner's Account Page as a PDF file.

Player Comments:
- "A great close match in the heat. A lot of close games and a thoroughly enjoyable match." -- Dom
Player Comments:
- "It's always a close encounter with Thomas with the first 5 games going to deuce. At 5-5, I went on a run of games that gave me the set and a 3-0 lead. There were opportunities in every game with great winners, drop shots and smashes. Equally the swirling wind made sure we were both red faced with double faults, shots floating out or being pushed back in. Despite my opponent getting one break back, the rest of the games went with serve and I edged another narrow set. Great competitiveness in good spirits." -- Devrim

Collapse AllPavilion Doubles - Round 27 | Thursday 5 December 2019 to Wednesday 26 February 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 15 January 2020)
Just a small, winter-warmer of a round this time. But spring is just around the corner so do hope you can join us for more doubles action as the weather hots up!
Group Summary:
A real case of who dares wins! Jim and Maria braved the cold of a north London winter on three occasions. Now that didn't necessarily give them the best winning record (three teams all notched up a win) but by earning a point for a set won in their loss to Louise and Annabel, Jim and Maria won the points chase! Of course more matches played could well have changed things, but well done to our champs who played all their matches and topped the group!
Final Rankings:
- Maria Harrison & Jim Harrison [W1, L2] 3 WINNER
- Esther Gillham & Ewan Flynn [W1] 2 RUNNER UP
- Louise Sharpe & Annabel Walton South [W1] 2
- Nigel Billen & Sally Kinnes [L1] 1
