Tennis

There is a lively tennis scene at Winchester with a large proportion of the boys playing recreationally, and over a hundred being regular players in school teams. The summer term sees a densely packed fixture list with boys competing against a range of schools and clubs. Our eclectic selection of courts mean that boys get used to playing on all surfaces and all enjoy the privilege of using the high quality grass courts for at least a couple of matches each summer.

Almost all inter-school fixtures are doubles competitions, organised in sixes, for each year group. Each of the three pairs in a six plays each of the pairs in the opponent's six, giving a final match score out of nine. At the end of the summer term the best senior and junior pairs represent the School in the annual public schools doubles tournaments, the Youll Cup and Thomas Bowl.

In addition to the inter-school matches, tennis players are kept busy with inter-house doubles at senior and junior level, a senior singles competition called the Lee Cup, some intra-house competitions and occasional social events such as barbeques and friendly fixtures.
