British Tour

The LTA's British Tour events often have a range of different players competing – from junior rising stars to national level adults or even pro players. 

The tournaments are open age group category with a mixture of adults and juniors competing and are LTA Grade 1 (Premier & Tier 1) & LTA Grade 2 (Tier 2) events. 

You can play more than one tournament in the same week provided you have completed the previous tournament.  

If you have played in an ITF tournament, you will need to have been released by the ITF Supervisor of that tournament as you cannot compete in multiple tournaments at the same time. 

Up to two wild cards per draw may be awarded at the discretion of our Performance Team.  

These are usually given to young / junior players who don’t yet have an ATP or WTA ranking to help give them experience at the next level. 

The Tournament Director can then also give out between one and four wild cards to specific applicants. Further wild cards can also be awarded for any qualifying draws and if there are more spaces available in the main draw. 

Wild cards are allocated in order of ATP / WTA singles ranking, then ITF World Tennis singles ranking of 1500 or better, followed by ITF World Tennis Number. 

To request a wild card – contact the British Tour Tournament Director. 

Any requests must be made by Friday (midday) before the event for main draw, and by the withdrawal deadline for qualifying.

Tournament formats vary but a British Tour event will usually take place over a week. They often start with qualifying on Monday and the main draw taking place from Wednesday through to Saturday. 

However, some events won’t have qualifying and others will only be three-day tournaments – so please check the competition schedule and format before you enter. 

Draw sizes range from 28-32 and matches are played as best of three sets with a match tie-break in the decider.
