Sydney is truly such a special place. My name is Sally and I have lived here for 2 years now. I hail from the US of A and have absolutely loved my time here. Being apart of the Sydney Real Tennis Club has made my life in Sydney somehow even fuller.

I’d thought I capture a day in my life as a 25 year old living and working in Sydney. Starting off strong with a sunrise swim down in Bronte, followed by work at the bakery all before the mixed doubles competition at the tennis club! Everyone in this video is either a member of the tennis club or was forcibly made to come to try out the game by me. This was such a solid Saturday and I cannot express the gratitude that I feel for being apart of Sydney’s growing club! We hope to see you soon.

What a brilliant Saturday at the club!

A mixed doubles competition featuring many of our amazing members, commenced this past Sunday, filled with heaps of laughter and competitive spirit. A showcase of the men and women at Sydney who make the club the space that it is.

Lots of deliberation, dare I say *ridiculous* handicaps, and great rallies all went down. In the end, it is Chris Cave and Richard Rasker who remained undefeated all day. They swept in the final against Sally Philpott and Jake Erskine with a 6/2 finish. Very well played to everyone!

A huge thank you to Alex for organizing this even as he is flying solo.

***SUMMER DOWN UNDER WITH RECORD PRIZEMONEY ON OFFER!

ARTA is pleased to announce that record prizemoney will be on offer when the 2027 season kicks off in Australia in January.

We are thrilled that the new Sydney Real Tennis Club will host its first Australian Open Singles & Doubles* from 5 to 14 January (with official practice 3rd and 4th Jan). The minimum prize pool will be A$70,000, and we are hopeful that we will be able to increase this pool. This already lifts the Australian Open pool to its equal highest ever level.

Sydney will also offer a handicap doubles event from 11 to 14 January for club players who wish to enjoy watching the Open and also play some tennis on this wonderful court. Details of that to come soon.

What could be better than a trip to Sydney in summer, with so many attractions beyond the tournament. This includes Test Cricket, Big Bash Cricket and United Cup lawn tennis, plus there is always ‘that harbour’!

The Australian Open will be followed by the welcome return of the Ballarat Silver Racket after a hiatus of nearly 30 years. This will be an 8 person singles draw with a minimum prize pool of A$20,000. It offers players the chance not only of further tournament play and prize funds but also the opportunity to play at the stunningly refurbished Ballarat Real Tennis Club.

Entries for both events close on 25 November and entry forms will shortly be available via the IRTPA and ARTA websites.

With a combined minimum prize pool of at least A$90,000, Australia looks forward to welcoming the best ‘down under’ in January 2027.

For specific event questions, please contact the host clubs via the email addresses below.
