Game. Set. Match… and maybe a cheeky cappuccino after?
Whether you’re smashing serves on the regular, picking up a racket for the first time, or still recovering from that one tennis lesson in Year 8 PE there’s a court for you. Tennis is having a real post-lockdown glow-up, and with social sports booming, it’s never been easier (or more fun) to get involved. Local clubs are buzzing, coaching programmes are thriving, and the social scenes? 10/10.
We asked the questions, scrolled the sites, and tapped into our tennis-loving network to pull together the best clubs bringing energy, inclusivity, and killer backhands to the scene.
