We are excited to be holding the 2024 Hawthorn Tennis Club Championships for Club members in September. The Club Championships will be once again held over two weekends this year, with Junior, Graded and Open events.
Junior Club Championships - Saturday 14th September
We will run Junior Club Championships (for 18 years and under) on Saturday 14th September from 1pm onwards.
Trophies will be provided for Winners & Runners Up and a BBQ Sausage Sizzle will be provided on the day.
Club Championships - Sunday 15th September (Open), Sunday 22nd September (Graded)
The Club Championships will commence at 10am on Sunday 15th September for the Open events and Sunday 22nd for the Graded* events. There will be the following events in both the Open and Graded Championships:
Women's Singles
Men's Singles
Women's Doubles
Men's Doubles
Mixed Doubles
* Graded Club Championships can be played by players with a UTR under 5.5. If you are not sure if you qualify, please email the Club. Everyone is welcome to play in the Open Championships including those playing in the Graded events.
Other details
Entry fees are $5 per player for doubles, and $10 per player for singles. Payment to be made on the day via the Square terminal.
Each player may only enter 2 events on a given day to ensure we can get through the events within the day. Note: exceptions may be made in circumstances where a player is unable to play on the day due to sickness or other circumstance and another player for a doubles pairing is slotted in who has already entered 2 events.
If you are interested in playing doubles and do not have a partner, please let us know and we can look to pair you up with someone.
The format for the matches will be determined once entries are received and we have a feel for the size of the draw. In previous years we have played one set or 'best of 8 games' matches for large draws, with finals typically 3 sets, in order to ensure the Championships can be completed in the day.
We encourage members to come down and watch and enjoy the competition, particularly finals viewing in the late afternoon.
Awards for the Winners and Runners Up for each event will be presented at the 2024 Hawthorn Tennis Club AGM.
There will be no Sunday Social running on either the 15th or 22nd September.
Junior players are very welcome to participate in the Open or Graded Championships also.
We encourage all members to consider participating in the spirit of friendly competition!
Please email the Club with your interest in participating at info@hawthorntennisclub.com. Entries due by the end of August.
