They are taking part in the national finals of the Play Your Way to Wimbledon competition.

The event offers recreational tennis players of all ages and abilities the opportunity to compete on SW19’s acclaimed grass courts.

Last year saw over 11,000 players taking part in the competition with more than 780 venues hosting the initial stages of the competition.

Olly Scadgell, Managing Director of Tennis Development at the LTA, said: “The finals of Play Your Way to Wimbledon, powered by Vodafone have always been one of the highlights of the tennis summer. Thousands set out earlier this year with the goal of reaching the storied grass courts at the All England Club, and for those now set to compete, they are about to realise the dream of many a tennis player. Whether or not they go on to win a title, we hope players are inspired to continue their tennis journeys, and can also inspire others in their communities to pick up a racket and give tennis a go.”
