Congratulations! Roehampton Club Men’s and Women’s Teams NPL Tennis Finals champions …

 

On Bank Holiday Monday 25th May, Roehampton Club Men’s and Women’s Teams were crowned
champions of the NPL Tennis Finals!

 

A historic moment – the first time in 25 years that one club has claimed both titles. Congratulations!

Congratulations Member Susie Reid …

 

… who won both singles and doubles at the 2026 British Open Masters Clay Court Championships presented by Fila – the biggest ITF Masters (30-85) tournament in UK.

 

Tough draws in both, long matches on grinding green clay, in the early 2026 heatwave! W65 category in both
Partner Sue Bartlett in doubles.

Congratulations Member Bea Robson …

 

… who came third at the Grade 1 Grass National Championships at East Glos Club in Cheltenham.

 

Bea did it the hard way, having to qualify for the tournament via two matches, to gain entry to the main draw of 32. From there, she went on to the semi-finals, losing to the eventual winner 6-3,7-5.

 

Her third place finish meant she just missed a spot at the Junior Wimbledon Championships, which was reserved for the top two finishers!
