Tennis champions of the future are returning to Playford with international men’s and women’s tennis hitting off at our world-class sporting facility.

As part of the Australian Pro Tour Calendar, Playford Tennis Centre will host its third Men’s Challenger and Women’s ITF Futures tournaments, from 28 October to 3 November, featuring players from all over the world.

The City of Playford Tennis International is South Australia’s most prestigious tennis event in 2019, with players competing for $160,000 in sponsors’ prize money.

The tournament itself is a lead-in for those preparing to compete in Australia’s summer of Tennis. This free event is a great opportunity for everyone to witness some great tennis and to be inspired by sporting brilliance.

Our last event attracted players from 23 countries including Russia, Germany, France, USA and Great Britain.

Local favourites Luke Saville (Cobdogla, SA) and Max Purcell (NSW) won the men’s double finals.

In addition, two up and coming international tennis stars who competed in the 2018 Playford Tennis International went on to play in the September 2019 US Open Men's and Women's Finals.

Canada's Bianca Andreescu, 19, claimed the biggest achievement of her career when she defeated Serena Williams in straight sets to win the women's US Open decider.

The next day in the Men's Final, 23-year-old Russian Daniil Medvedev took Rafael Nadal to five sets, but ultimately fell short in a tight nail-biting final.

The City of Playford Tennis International has been awarded Tennis SA’s Most Outstanding Event over the last two years, so come along to experience the exceptional matches and free family fun throughout the week.
