The countdown is well and truly underway, with the Championship making a racquet for quite some time now.

An invitation-only, custom-made event, the line-up this time around has pitted the most talented players against one another in a series of elimination singles matches across three days.

Beyond the court, there is an entire range of fun, interactive, and most importantly – affordable activities lined up at the Tennis Village, in line with championing a healthy lifestyle and the benefits of staying active.
