Welcome

The Meadows City Tennis Club is a friendly, LTA-affiliated club, established in 2002, offering social and competitive tennis for adults and juniors.
 
We organise an extensive social tennis programme and enter both men's and ladies' doubles teams in East of Scotland doubles leagues. We also hold a series of annual club competitions, and have weekly indoor sessions during the winter.
 
New players are always welcome! Try out the club before joining by coming along to one of our social tennis sessions, detailed below.
 
We play on the public courts at the eastern end of the Meadows close to Edinburgh's Old Town, the University buildings and Buccleuch Str. There are 16 courts – all re-surfaced in 2007 – and we usually play on courts 9, 10 & 11.

  • Club Doubles Tournament
    Great tournament on Saturday, starting in very windy conditions which luckily calmed down during the course of the afternoon.

    After a competitive round-robin section, Clive & Sandeep were in a clear lead, followed by John Kirby and Gareth , closely with Jackson & Phil a few points behind. In the final, Clive & Sandeep came out on top 6-1 6-3, perhaps benefiting from having played together for the Men's 1st team throughout the 2011 East of Scotland doubles league season.
     
    Howard & Jackson - the winning partnership of 2009 and 2010  - were unable to go for the triple due to Howard being injured.
     
    Thanks to all that played in this and our other club tournaments this autumn.
