Felixstowe Lawn Tennis Club is pleased to present its summer 2022 list of tournament events.

This year we will be holding four main tournaments throughout the summer.

British Tour (Premier event)

Our first event will be the British Tour, formally known as the East of England. This tournament has been running for well over 100 years and this year is classed as a premier event.

Emma Raducanu won at Felixstowe before US Open

Over the years we have seen many talented players taking part at the tournament Last year was no exception. The winner of our ladies tournament was Emma Raducanu, who went on to play at Wimbledon and win at the US open. Let's hope she returns again this year.

The British Tour runs from Sunday 22nd May to Friday 27th May 2022. Spectator entry is free.

This tournament caters for all age groups. It's configured in five year stages from 35 to 85 years of age.

The ITF senior tournaments are held all over the world and allow players from elite to recreational levels to play and earn ranking points. This will be the 8th year Felixstowe has hosted the ITF Seniors Tournament.

This year we have been upgraded from S100 to S200. This means more ranking points for those taking part.
