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!)
- 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 posted to the winner's Account Page as a PDF file.

Collapse AllHigh Wycombe and Hazlemere Singles - Round 30 | Thursday 29 November 2018 to Wednesday 6 February 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 2 January 2019)
And that's our thirtieth round in High Wycombe done and dusted. Thank you for staying so loyal to the concept and helping give more and more players the chance to play friendly, competitive singles. This round over 70% of matches were played, which is a testament to your skills and passion! Here's to the spring round.
Group Summary:
All this excellent group needed was a play-off between James and Paul, but tantalisingly we didn't get it this round. Instead, both players confidently notched up four wins - uncomplicated by bonus points - and ended the round with eight points each. In these circumstances, it is off to the rule book and winner last time, James, just edges the group win by virtue of conceding fewer sets and games. An intriguing round and just think what might have happened if third-placed Chris has earned bonus points. With another match under his belt and three good wins of his own, the group could have been his! (And lovey match commentaries all!)
Final Rankings:
- James Copland 9.1 [W4] 8 WINNER
- Paul Adams [W4] 8 RUNNER UP
- Chris Lindeque [W3, L2] 7
- Brian Edwards [W2, L3] 5
- Tim Danton 9.2 [L5] 4 includes 2 bonus points
- Marina Lyons [W1, L4] 3

Group Summary:
Well done group two for your early scheduling of matches - four players earned their bonus points and free tennis balls. But it was the tennis that won the group for Jamie, with three emphatic wins to earn him promotion next time. Marc kept himself in the chase with two wins of his own and his encounter with the champ on a chilly day is the kind of match you can easily build on. Well done to Jane who played more matches than anyone else to earn third place with a run that included a nice win over Kabir.

Match of the Group:
Reveal CommentMarc Nielsen bt Jane Smith (Jan 2) 6-0, 7-6 (7-5)Player Comments:
- "After our last epic encounter I was very much looking forward to this match. As the score line shows, and luckily for me, Jane took a while to get into the game and despite silly mistakes on both sides, the second set was very close indeed. A pleasure to play with and already looking forward to our next meeting. " -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Great to play with Kabir. The setting sun played havoc early on but we soon got some good rallies on the go. It wasn’t until the last few games that we really got going. Look forward to next time. " -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Kabir is amazing foe the short time he's been playing, and entirely self-taught. Very reliable returns and a great slice serve, plus some wicked drop shots. One to watch in future years! Thanks for a good match, Kabir." -- Jane
Player Comments:
- "Without a doubt Jane is my new favourite person. A really fun hit was hosted at a great club in really good spirit. Even though she fell short of her predicted four aces, Jane has a decent serve which keeps you on your toes. A little more luck at the net would have made it closer. An absolute pleasure so looking forward to our next game. " -- Jamie
Player Comments:
- "Good knock all round, neither of us played free and loose. I think Marc had a little more left in his racket to give and I didn't serve great so all in all on an extremely cold day it was just good to play. Thanks Marc... " -- Jamie
Player Comments:
- "It was great to meet Jamie! He's so friendly and encouraging. Honestly, I think lta placed me in the wrong group since I've only played tennis for a year and only managed to win a handful of points in the entire match. Jamie's coming back from surgery so that probably explains his low ranking. His serve is outstanding and should be the favourite for the group! Disappointed not to give him a good game." -- Kabir
