LTA Awards

The annual LTA Awards, presented by Lexus, celebrate the achievements made by outstanding individuals and venues in tennis and padel, from grassroots to elite performance.

They present us all with a great opportunity to say “thank you” to those who generously give their time to open up tennis and padel across Britain, and importantly across Middlesex.

Launched in 2015 with the help of former LTA president Cathie Sabin OBE, the LTA Awards celebrate the many thousands of inspirational individuals involved in tennis and padel, dedicating their precious time and energy to the continual development and growth of the sports. Over the past nine years, the awards have illustrated the depth of service and talent within the community across Britain and served as an inspiration to others to volunteer, coach, officiate or to play.

Do you know someone who is doing fantastic work within Middlesex? We will be celebrating our award winners at our annual presentation evening at The Queen’s Club in March 2027 so if you have a tennis hero, please nominate them!

We’ll keep you updated as to when the nomination process is open.
