I need to know something about the rules of tennis.

The rules are administered by the International Tennis Federation and can be found on their website.

Watching Tennis

Where can I watch good tennis?

  • Nationally

    Good tennis can be seen in Britian at any major event such as Davis Cup and The Championships, Wimbledon. Please visit the International Tennis Federation website for information on ATPTOUR (mens) and WTA (Ladies) for other events held in Britian.

  • Locally

    Wrexham has hosted international Men’s Challenger tennis for players just outside the top 100. Top up and coming players can be seen at these events. Entrance is free so why not come down and spot some of the future stars.

How can I get tickets to see The Championships, Wimbledon and when do they take place?

There are several ways to obtain tickets to The Championships. It is possible to apply for tickets either by participating in the public ballot which closes at the end of December or by becoming an LTA Advantage Member. Members of affiliated tennis clubs may also obtain tickets via their club secretaries or a club ballot.

The official Wimbledon website for full details on tickets.
