Welcome to the 2026 Tennis Season!

I want to thank all of our 2025 Board Members, volunteers, and Nadia and her team for their help in making 2025 a very successful season. We sent out a member survey at the end of last season and were gratified to learn that we have strong support for the path. This year, we plan to continue on the same path.

Throughout the season, through communications to members, we will endeavour to keep all members up to date on club initiatives and events. To this end, we adopted a new software system for the club, which we hoped would create less work for our membership director and improve our ability to send out newsletters.

Unfortunately, despite our efforts to introduce the system, including some beta testing, we ran into some bugs which created several confusing messages for rejoining the club—apologies for the inconvenience to our members. We hope the result will justify the change.
Play (lots of) tennis, and have fun!

Elizabeth Murphy, President

Courts and Clubhouse

The courts will open on May 14th, weather permitting. Of course, our opening date is dependent on the amount of rain we get in Mathe next few days.

A Word from our Tennis Director, Sam Jonas

I am back for a third season as Director of Tennis, supported by Adam Dykes , Jeremy, Alberto and Kasra Ganjavi.

We hope that we continue to bring a positive and engaging environment to the club.

We are organizing a new season of events, round robins, team practices and a selection of other programming, including clinics for adults and juniors, plus live ball. Some of the clinics will be aimed at integrating new members into the club as well as allowing existing members to interact.
