If you’re looking for an organised, social afternoon of tennis with plenty of matchplay, the BigMat Afternoon American Tournament is one to add to your calendar — especially as it’s being held on a public holiday, making it easier for more players to join in.
Taking place at Marsa Sports Club on Thursday 19 March 2026, this event is built around the American-format style of play — meaning you’ll get a good variety of partners and opponents across the afternoon, with matches moving along at a lively pace.
American tournaments are ideal for players who want match experience without the stop-start feel of a traditional knockout draw.
You’ll play a series of mixed doubles rounds, and each game counts towards your overall tally. It’s a great format if you enjoy doubles, want to meet more players, and prefer a tournament that feels structured while still keeping things light and social.
To help ensure enjoyable matches for everyone, players will be placed into two divisions based on level:
This approach keeps matchplay balanced and gives players the chance to compete within the right group.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners and runners-up in each division, based on total games won across all rounds, with vouchers kindly supplied by BigMat Malta.
If you’d like to take part, make sure you submit your entry by 12 March 2026.
For any queries, you can contact tennis@marsasportsclub.com.
