January Singles Challenge

ENTRIES CLOSED.  Entries closed early as maximum of 35 entries received.  Players who miss out can register at tournaments@uqtc.org.au to go on standby list in case of any withdrawals.

The Singles Challenge will be a UTR-tiered event with players divided into round-robin groups of five based on their UTRs – the top 5 UTRs in Group 1, the next 5 in Group 2, etc.  Every player will get four one-set matches during the morning.  Each group winner will receive a $50 gift card.

The aim will be to have a small range of UTRs in each group.  So, although players can enter the Men’s Singles or ladies’ Singles, men and women may be combined in the same group if that is the best way to achieve an even competition.

Note:  If play on Saturday morning, 11 January, is prevented or interrupted because of the weather, the event will be played or completed on Saturday morning, 18 January.  Entrants should ensure they can be available for both mornings if necessary.

Eligibility: Entry is restricted to members of The University of Queensland Tennis Club.  However, non-members will be granted Restricted Membership of the Club (which includes free registration with Tennis Queensland) so that everybody can enter.  N.B. A higher entry fee applies for Restricted Members.

Format: Round-Robin groups of 5 (based on UTRs), which means all entrants will get 4 matches.

Entries: Lodge entries on-line here.  

Entries close 5 January but, because the competition is limited to 35 players (7 groups of 5, using 2 courts per group), entries will be closed early if 35 entries are received before 5 January.

Note: When players go to enter on-line, they are asked to log-in using their Tennis Australia Competitive Player Profile log-in.  Players can check if they have a Tennis ID & Competitive Player Profile or they can create a Competitive Player Profile & Tennis ID & UTR link by going to:
