The Match Point Tennis Club (MPTC) has been in operation since 1966. We are a non-profit volunteer organization that provides monthly tennis tournaments for all levels of players. The tournaments are held at the Phoenix Tennis Center located at 21st Avenue and Citrus Way, just north of Bethany Home Road.
MPTC offers five types of tournaments: (only one type each month)
| 1. Singles |
| 2. Choose Your Own Partner Doubles (CYOPD) |
| 3. Luck Of the Draw Doubles (LODD) A partner is randomly selected for you in your division. |
| 4. Choose Your Own Partner Mixed (CYOPM) |
| 5. Luck Of the Draw Mixed (LODM) |
Skill Divisions:
There are three women's divisions and three men's divisions, A, B, and C. Approximate NTRP Ratings would be 4.5, 3.5 and 2.5 respectively. After we receive your request to join the club, you will be contacted by the Seeding and Ranking Committee to discuss your level of play. Generally, someone will try you out and then place you in the division they feel meets your level of play.
Tournament Play:
Tournaments are played on the weekends. Day tournaments are held in the fall and winter and nighttime play for the summer tournaments (May-September). You are guaranteed at least two rounds per tournament. If you lose your first round you then play in the consolation side of the tournament where pro sets are played until the semi-finals and finals. Awards are given to the winners and runners-up of the regular tournament and to the winners of the consolation side.
