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! Starting October 15th, we are hosting the Budgen W100, the biggest event in womens tennis to be staged in the UK in 2023, 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 Marketa Vondrusova, who went on to become Wimbledon Ladies Singles Champion in June 2023, landed both the Singles and the Doubles titles heading off a strong British challenge led by Katie Boulter. We are promised an equally strong field in 2023 with players ranked inside the world’s top 100 expected to be competing for the honour of winning valuable world ranking points and prize money.

New for this year, we have more seats and big screens as we create the DMOS People Arena creating a much better spectator experience. There is also a dedicated 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, dedicated toilet suites 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.
