🎾🎾 ILKLEY TROPHY 🏆 Absolutely brilliant! An almighty effort by the whole team at Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club for organising yet again a fantastic Ilkley Trophy Tournament. Rik Smith - our Ilkley Lawn Tennis Chairman and Tournament Director together with Chris Harrison-Bloom, the clubs General Manager and the whole team did an amazing job. With about 20,000 people in attendance, 2,000 people using hospitality, about 200 volunteers and many students from Ilkley Grammar School getting involved, it was a huge success. Each year, the event goes from strength to strength - attracting incredible players, whose performances on pitch are just superb. The hospitality and events made this year’s whole tournament a real fun experience - having a real positive impact on Ilkley. A huge amount of effort goes in to hosting the event with many volunteers and club members getting involved, and the positive impact the tournament has on Ilkley, our schools and the wider area is superb. Many local businesses, accommodation providers and hospitality also hugely benefit from the event. The Ilkley Trophy is one of the highlights of the summer grass court season with world-class tennis. The event is by far the biggest UK Tennis tournament in the North of UK. Well done to all involved! And thank you again for all your efforts in making the whole tournament be such a great event. It was a privilege to attend. 🎾 Congratulations to Tristan Schoolkate 🇦🇺 who beat Jack Pinnington Jones 🇬🇧 after an incredible match. And… 🎾 Congratulations to Iva Jovic 🇺🇸 who wins the Ilkley Challenger title in straight sets over Rebecca Marino 🇨🇦 @Ilkleytennis
