ABOUT US

Rediscovering the joy of tennis on grass courts

The Founder

Motivated by his passion for grass court tennis, enthusiastic player Paul Reardon envisioned a complete resource for all things related to grass courts.

Since 2022, Paul has supported Bonmont Golf and Tennis Club’s desire to construct the first grass court in Switzerland for tournament purposes. Pictured below is Paul Reardon with his close friend Daniel-Sacha Fradkoff, President of Bonmont Tennis Club.

The first Bonmont Tennis Masters, held in 2024, featured many top ATP players passionate about grass play.

About Grass Tennis Club

Welcome to the Grass Tennis Club!

At the Grass Tennis Club, we believe there is nothing quite like the sound of a perfectly timed volley on a crisp summer afternoon. Grass-court tennis isn’t just a surface; it’s a craft. From the historic lawns of SW19 to your local club, we are dedicated to celebrating the unique “chess match” that only natural turf can provide.

Our mission is to be the ultimate digital home for players who appreciate the nuances of the game. Whether you are looking for technical advice on improving your traction, tracking the evolution of “The
New Big Two” on the pro tour, or searching for the best grass-court venues across the UK and beyond, we’ve got you covered.

Why We’re Here

Expert Insight: We dive deep into the tactics, gear, and movement required to master the low bounce.
A Global Community: We are building the definitive ranking of grass clubs worldwide, powered by the players who play on them.
Passion First: We celebrate the “Meritocrat’s Journey”—the idea that with the right focus and process, any player can master the hardest surface in the world.
Whether you’re a serve-and-volley traditionalist or a baseline power player, pull up a chair (and maybe some strawberries). Let’s get you up to speed.

Coming later this year: The 2026 Global Grass Club Rankings

We aren’t just fans; we are documentarians of the game. In 2026, we are launching our inaugural Global Club Ranking Survey. This isn’t just a popularity contest—it is a comprehensive evaluation of what makes a grass court venue truly elite.

We are reaching out to clubs across the globe to measure everything from court quality and maintenance standards to the heritage and prestige that define the sport’s history. Whether it’s the type of rye-grass used, the exclusivity of the membership, or the sheer beauty of the setting, our goal is to provide a definitive guide for players, owners, and social members alike.
Is your club ready to be ranked? Stay tuned for our official questionnaire and the big reveal later this year.
