The Green Stage Toptenn Open is the perfect way for players to practice executing and experimenting with strategies by building and building upon their match experience in a supportive environment.

The Green Stage Open gives players the opportunity to challenge themselves against other Toptenn Green Stage players in at least 5 matches whilst learning the best game-styles for you, and how to counter others. How does your court position affect your opponent? How does theirs impact upon you? How do you stop them hitting forehands? How can you return their massive serve?
