Tennis Seniors

Tournaments

What Tournaments are available:
Our Association offers a wide range of Seniors Tournaments, both in Australia and Overseas. In Australia, each State and Territory has a State Championship Event each year. There are over 140 ITF seniors Tournaments around the Globe which are all well patronised, particularly in the US, UK and Europe. Whilst competing in these ITF sanctioned events, you will gradually earn Ranking Points which stand you in a good stead for being seeded at other Tournaments and possibly for selection to represent your Country in the ITF Team Competitions which are held in various countries around the world.

If you’re unable to travel overseas and attend these Tournaments, there are 4 Tournaments that are available to South Australians. These include:

–          The SA Seniors Championships

–          The Australian Carnival

–          The Berri Teams Event
