Competitive Tennis at Weybridge Lawn Tennis Club

Surrey Leagues

The club enters a number of teams in the Woking League each season in both summer and winter and a mens team and mixed team in the Chaucer League (summer Only).

The Woking league is made up of clubs within a ten-mile radius of Woking. Currently we have 5 mens teams, 2 mixed teams and a Ladies team competing in this league.

Woking League summer matches are played Monday to Friday normally starting at 18:30. Chaucer League summer matches are played over the weekend.

Winter matches are played on Saturday and Sunday during the day

Team Practices

Weather permitting, team mix-ins are held every Wednesday evening. All members who currently play team tennis, or are interested in playing team tennis, are welcome to come along. Attendance is arranged weekly via the ‘Team Mix In’ WhatsApp Group.

Club Championships

Each year, allmembers can participate in a number of different competitions within the club for all members culminating i0n our legendary Finals Day party. In most years, this is scheduled for the Third Sunday in July, the Sunday following the Wimbledon Finals.

Normally, the club knockout tournament runs from late Spring till mid Summer with seeded competitions for:

  • Mens Singles
  • Ladies Singles
  • Mens Doubles
  • Ladies Doubles
  • Mixed Doubles
  • Veterans Mens Singles
  • Veterans Mens Doubles
  • Veterans Ladies Doubles

At the finals we have professional umpires and a large crowd of spectators usually usually turns out to support the players, enjoy refreshments and to applaud the winners and losers.

Unfortunately, the 2020 Club Championships were cancelled due to Covid.

 

Singles Leagues

This is a great way to get to know more members, hone your singles skills and play some competitive tennis.

Members of similar ability are placed into a division of 4 players. A WhatsApp group is setup for each division, so players can self-organise to play every other player in their division.

Matches are best of three sets, with the third set simply being a Championship Tiebreak to 10 points, winning by 2 as usual.

Players will receive 1 point for each set they win, plus 1 point for playing the match. There is also a bonus point for winning in straight sets.
For example, if Claudia beats Douglas 2 sets to 1, then Claudia would get 3 points and Douglas would get 2 points. If Alex beats Danny 2-0, then Alex would get 4 points and Danny 1 point.

The Singles League Tour moves from country to country each month, with each division named after cities from the host country.

Each Singles League runs for a calendar month. Players are rotated into a new division each month, where they are mostly drawn against members they haven’t played recently, or at all.

New players, and players of all standards are welcome and encouraged to join in.
