Entries are now being accepted for the Summer Season of the Middlesex Tennis Singles League.

To enter go to www.tennisjeannie.com and click on “Middlesex Singles League” under Accepting Entries on the home page.

How the Singles League works:

You will be allocated to a box with other players who have the same rating and are in the same age group. So all wins are “Qualifying Wins”.

Results are uploaded onto the LTA database on a regular basis.

For players with a Rating of 10.2 – 9.1 this means you only have to win 4 matches to be promoted to the next Rating Band. Results for higher rated players (8.2 / 8.1) will be processed by the LTA at the defined “Ratings Run” dates.

Should your Rating change you will be moved to a new box so you can continue to progress through the ratings bands; you will not be stuck in an inappropriate box for the rest of the Season.

You are not obliged to play all opponents in your box; play as many or as few matches as is convenient to you.

Arranging Matches

Tennis Jeannie will help you to arrange your matches; for example you can advertise the dates and times when you are available to play matches; send match invites and Jeannie will manage the responses so you get to play on dates and at times that are convenient to you. Player telephone contact details are made available to the other players in the same box so if you prefer you can call or text opponents.

You can invite an opponent to play at your home venue; you can offer to travel to your opponent’s home venue or you can play at a neutral venue such as a park court or indoor pay and play centre. The tournament rules defines how costs are shared.

New for the Summer Season

The target is to have boxes of 10 players. Where we have a large entry for a Rating / Age Group the player pool will be divided on a geographic basis so as to minimise travel time.

Previously boxes frequently had more than 20 players but spread all across London.
