The Singapore Tennis Association (STA) inter-club tennis competition is organised every year. The Singapore Tennis Association (STA) is the National Sports Agency (NSA) for tennis in Singapore.
The STA is led by the Management Committee who are made up of representatives of Member Clubs who wish to volunteer their time and are voted into the committee in the Annual General Meeting. The day-to-day running of the STA is led by Gilbert Ng and Wilson Tay and the executive team. The Member Clubs are clubs that are registered under the Registry of Societies (ROS), and are approved by the STA to participate in the inter-club competition. And so, to play in the STA inter-club tennis tournament, you must register a club with the ROS, be approved into the entry list by STA, and then sign-up for the competition. The easier way is to join an existing club who is already affiliated with the STA such as those below. TNT Tennis Club, Cougars Tennis Club, and Farrah Tennis Club have their tennis social games at Winchester Tennis Arena.
There are 4 Singapore Tennis Association inter-club tournaments every year. The inter-club singles league in March, the doubles knock-out in May/June, and the doubles league in September each year. The STA has recently added a Junior inter-club competition to the tournament calendar as well.
The STA inter-club tennis tournament singles league and the inter-club doubles league is played in a round-robin league format and separated into 8 divisions, Men’s and Ladies, Grades A, B, C and D. Grade A being the strongest division. In the event that there are several teams in the Grade, they will be divided into group and play round-robin matches within their respective groups, before playing the semi-finals and finals. The format of the tennis competition is 3 matches, played in a best-of-three-sets match, and the overall winner of the tie shall be the tennis club with 2 wins in that tie.
The STA Inter-Club tennis tournament doubles knockout is played in 4 divisions, Kliny Cup (Men’s A), Chua Cup (Men’s B), and Chan Cup (Men’s C and D), and the Martha Young Cup (Ladies A). There is also a grand-slam challenge trouphy for the best overall performing club who performs best over the 4 Divisions. TNT Tennis Club has won the Singapore Tennis Association Overall Challenge Trophy several times in the recent years as they have two A Grade Kliny Cup teams with one usually being the champion, one Chua Cup Team, one Chan Cup team comprising juniors, and a Martha Young team who also do very well.
