The USCTA and the National Tennis Club are hosting the 2025 Ladies World Championship in Newport from May 23 to 31, 2025. 

Under the new rules of this event, the top four players in the world (based on RTO Singles Handicap six months before the start of the tournament) are invited to compete as automatic qualifiers into the main draw of the Championship.  As a result, we are delighted to announce that these four players are: 1 Claire Fahey (UK), 2 Lea Van Der Zwalmen (France), 3 Tara Lumley (UK) and 4 Saskia Bollerman (Netherlands).

Entry forms for the Ladies World Doubles Championship (four pairs) and for the Ladies World Championship Singles Qualifiers (eight places, with two players to qualify for the Championship) will be issued in late January / early February.  Newport will also run a supporting program of handicap tennis and social events, and players will be offered accommodation with members.  

If you have any questions, please let us know.

We look forward to welcoming you to Newport next year.

Best wishes
