Slovakian Olympic Star Heads to Shrewsbury
Sunday 13th – Sunday 20th October 2024
ITF World Tennis Tour
Just a wonderful tennis experience!
Get ready for world class tennis as the ITF World Tennis Tour is heading back to Shrewsbury in 2024! Starting October 13th, we are hosting the Lexus W100, the biggest event in womens tennis to be staged in the UK, outside of the grass court season!
Enjoy an incredible festival of tennis, with street food, interactive fan zone and live music, all at The Shrewsbury Club. The friendly welcome makes this a “must visit” event for avid tennis fans and casual event enthusiasts alike!
Last year, 14-year-old British player Hannah Klugman came through qualifying and became the youngest player to do so at an event of this level, taking the record off Coco Gauff, whilst another Brit, Amarni Banks, had three career best victories in consecutive days as she stormed to the Final.
But this isn’t just about the Brits. In 2022, Shrewsbury winner, Marketa Vondrousova, went on to become Wimbledon Ladies Singles Champion just nine months later and our 2023 champion, Viktorija Golubic, was a Billie Jean King Cup winner and an Olympic Silver medallist when she picked up the Shrewsbury trophy in front of a sell-out crowd. At Shrewsbury we are fast building a reputation for showcasing not only the best of the British talent but also some of the most exciting players ranked inside the world’s top 100, all competing for the honour of winning valuable world ranking points and prize money.
With big screen videos and music as part of the DMOS People Arena experience you are guaranteed a great atmosphere. There is also a Tournament Village which will host the Kutchenhaus Tie Break Café, a dedicated area for spectators to enjoy refreshments. There will be special zones for officials, players and ball crew and an event space for the wide programme of events alongside the tennis programme.
This festival style tennis event is co-organised by the LTA, The Shrewsbury Club and Shropshire Festivals, the team behind the Food Festival, Kids Festival and OktoberFest.
The tournament is part of the LTA’s Performance Competitions Calendar, which is designed to provide British players with the chance to develop on home soil through more meaningful playing opportunities, giving all players the widest possible number of competitive matches on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
We’re proud to bring such a prestigious event to Shropshire which gives you the chance to watch world class tennis on your doorstep.
