Liverpool Tennis Tournament with top stars to take over city centre

The Qube Liverpool International Tennis Tournament returns to Liverpool Cricket Club this summer.

The tournament was first introduced by Northern Vision Sporting Events in 2002 as a warmup event for top players before Wimbledon. Since then, Northern Vision has introduced tennis to over 100,000 local juniors through its Liverpool-based events, including the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament and Liverpool Junior International Tennis Tournaments.

From June 13 - 15, the tournament will host its exhibition event featuring some of the world’s best players, which in the past has included John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Virginia Wade and Greg Rusedski.

The tournament will be based at Liverpool Cricket Club across the three days and host mini tennis lessons in Liverpool City Centre (Williamson Square, Exchange Flags, Liverpool Town Hall, Liverpool One) in the build-up, making tennis accessible to all.

Anders Borg, managing director of Northern Vision Sporting Events, said: “It is a great privilege to bring this magnificent occasion back to Liverpool for the 21st year alongside Qube Residential as our headline partner once again, to display some of the best talent that tennis has to offer.

“Over the years we have had some of the world’s most prestigious tennis names compete on our grass courts in Liverpool ahead of Wimbledon, and it’s certainly the place to be to spot the stars of the future.

“The Liverpool International Tennis Tournament is accessible to all, we want everyone to be able to experience the thrill of tennis, and we welcome involvement from students, local businesses and charities to make it a success year after year.”
