The inaugural event was held in 2019.
After being scuppered last year due to Covid-19, the Matakana Tennis Open is returning on Saturday and Sunday March 27 and 28 at Matakana Tennis Club.
The format has been increased to two days with round robins on Saturday and finals on Sunday.
Categories include men’s and women’s doubles as well as two skill level categories in both the men’s and women’s singles.
“The top category ranges from a good club player to a Djokovic or Federer. The second category is open to all, including novice players,” club captain Dan Paine says.
In 2019 there were 50 entries in the competition, including eight players in the top-level category.
Dan says the open is a chance to have a go at “fun but competitive” tennis, as well as watch some top-level play.
There will be BBQ food, and beer from Sawmill Brewery.
Entry is $25 per person for doubles and $35 for singles. Proceeds go towards the club’s fundraising for lights. Entries by March 19 at https://bit.ly/2OgDENA.
