Long Crendon Tennis Club

🎾 A brilliant day at Wimbledon! 🍓

We were fortunate enough to spend the day at Wimbledon as a family, along with a friend, making the most of our ground passes. There really is nothing quite like the atmosphere!

One of the highlights was watching 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt, son of 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt. Ranked around 500 in the world, he was already firing down serves at over 120mph—a glimpse of what could be another exciting career in the making.

The Invitation Doubles was fantastic entertainment too. The players were laughing, showing off, and making world-class tennis look ridiculously easy. Jamie Murray was a real standout, while Xavier Malisse was a crowd favourite.

We also caught some of the 14 & Under matches, and the standard was simply unbelievable. George… you've got some work to do! 😄💪

Of course, no trip to Wimbledon would be complete without a bit of autograph hunting! The boys were determined to collect as many signatures as possible, adding to what was already an unforgettable day.

It was great to see some familiar Aspire2Tennis faces enjoying Wimbledon as well. Huge commitment from Rocco, who camped overnight with his mum to secure tickets, and a brilliant moment for Thomas, who managed to grab a selfie with Jannik Sinner. Memories they'll never forget!

Days like these are such a great reminder of why we love this sport and how inspiring it is to watch players of all ages competing at the very highest level.

On Saturday 20th June, more than 20 children joined us at Long Crendon Tennis Club for a fantastic Kids’ Day filled with tennis, games, and plenty of fun.

🎾 **Mini Red Team Tournament (Years 1–4)**

Our younger players took part in a friendly team tournament, with many experiencing matchplay for the very first time. The courts were full of energy throughout the morning, and every child received a certificate to recognise their effort and participation.

🍔 **BBQ Time**

After the tennis, families enjoyed a well-earned BBQ and the chance to relax and socialise at the club.

🙏 **Thank You**

A huge thank you to Chris and Neville for running the BBQ, and to Sheila and Catherine for helping with the food and organisation. Thank you also to all the families who came along and helped make the day such a success.

A beautiful evening of ladies tennis with some delicious grub that everyone contributed! Some great wine/bubbles to help with our game 🤩 Thank you Catharine and Dimi for helping xx

This Friday. Come along for a social ladies evening and tennis!

Family Takeover at Play the Game 🎾

A really fun evening last Friday with parents joining the kids on court for rallies, matches and plenty of laughs.

A few rusty adults… but some still showing they’ve got it 😄

Great atmosphere all night and a lovely way to end the week.

Thanks to everyone who came along and brought food to share afterwards 👏

Thank you to everyone who came along to the official opening of Courts 1 & 2.

It was great to mark the occasion and see a mix of members attending, including some of our junior players. The evening had a lovely, relaxed feel, with a good balance of tennis, drinks, and nibbles enjoyed by all.

We hope you're enjoying the new courts, and we look forward to seeing more of you on court over the coming weeks.
