Tennis courts are more commonly found in larger condos, but securing a slot can be challenging. You might have a better chance if a smaller condo has one. In this article, we list 29 boutique condos (with fewer than 150 units) that have a tennis court!

Anyone for tennis? You've probably picked this one up already in the national media, but here's our piece on the newly approved expansion of Wimbledon's All England Tennis Club. In short, after considerable back and forth, the GLA's deputy mayor has resolved to allow the club to build an 8,000 seater stadium and 38 additional tennis courts on listed parkland (and Metropolitan Open Land) opposite the current complex in south west London. It's been locally controversial, with plenty of ins and outs, and the club's arguments in favour of expansion has been subject to considerable scrutiny. The deputy mayor appears to have gone for the economic argument, while pointing out that the park had been largely off limits to casual visitors for most of the last century because it's been leased by a local golf club (whose members have each received a sizeable slice of the sale of the land). Pimms on the lawn for some, no doubt. Thoughts? https://lnkd.in/eNNipYTV NB: This is currently behind a paywall, as are all of our news articles initially.

Racquets by the numbers: Stadium Tennis Court: Used 10 times a year with seating average attendance of say, 200 non-members. 2000 visits. Member play perhaps 8 members a day on the court for a total use of 4,920 visits to the court. Replaced By... Three Padel Courts: 12 members an hour, say over 6 hours per day. In just 68 days, the number of visits of playing members on the padel courts surpasses the number of non-member and member visits the to the Stadium Court. Our padel project at The Boulevard will leave the club with the only padel courts at the moment between USTA National Tennis Center in Orlando and Boynton Beach. I would wager the club bypasses the stadium's use in fewer than 60 days. When converting tennis courts to padel or pickleball courts, think outside the box and toward member use. How best can you offer the most to the membership in tight spaces, getting more out of the property while catering to the needs of the membership? #padel #pickleball #clubmanagement #racquets #clubleadership #landscapearchitecture #landscapes #privatemembersclub #privatemembersclubs #cmaa #clubmanagement1927

Sorry to say, Tennis is a dying game...remember The Post Office? Well, club players are getting older, young players are not always embraced and most clubs are doing financially poor. Padel may be an alternative, but eho can afford it? Young upcoming people, upper middle class maybe? Why do we not embrace Pickle ball? Let me give a few good reasons why we can embrace Pickle ball: 1. It is good for you. 2. It is extreme fun. 3. Financially affordable. 4. Easy access. 5. Will benefit your club financially. 6. Bring new blood in your club. 7. One can re-purpose old tennis courts. 8. Injured tennis players can ease into Pickle ball. 9. Make new friends. So, take the leap, go play!

Pickleball's Gift to Tennis: A Resurgence of Fans As tennis enthusiasts filled the U.S. Open this year, setting a record average of over 75,000 fans each weekday, many seasoned attendees couldn’t help but feel the strain of the overcrowded grounds. For traditional tennis players, this surge in interest is bittersweet, as it coincides with the rapid rise of pickleball—a sport many view with disdain as evidenced by recent articles. Once peaceful, underutilized tennis courts, which had fallen into neglect, are now being converted into dedicated pickleball courts filled with happy people, a change that purists see as an unwelcome intrusion on their sacred spaces. While tournament organizers might celebrate the growing crowds, traditionalists worry that the sport they love is being overshadowed by what they see as an inferior and disruptive alternative. As for Andre Agassi, Sam Querrey, and John Isner, thank you, gentlemen, for picking up a paddle and giving the game a go.
