We featured this website about a year ago and think it's so great, we want to spread the word again.
GrabaMatch was born through one players struggle to find a regular pool of people for friendly matchplay. Relying on a couple of contacts in your phonebook can be frustrating when one of those pulls out or the weather is bad - before you know it another week has passed and you've not played!
GrabaMatch makes finding opponents easy - it takes just 1 minute to register, and it's totally free. You can enter your playing level based on your Configure Ranking or an overseas equivalent and challenge anyone. If you don't have a ranking, don't worry. You can estimate your playing level, and the scoring system within GrabaMatch will mean you find your true level after just a few matches.
There are currently 523 players registered on GrabaMatch. Most active users are in the Auckland area, so Northern, Waikato Bays, Central, Canterbury and Southern - this is your time to sign up and get playing! Matches can be played anywhere, with court hire costs (if applicable) being split between the players. If you are hosting a match or visiting a club, please respect the non-member/visitors policy at the venue.
GrabaMatch is suitable for all levels of player including those just starting out who want more match experience. The most active players at the moment are ranked between 900 - 1700 points which equates to an S9/10 - S5 Configure Ranking.
Once you have found your playing level, GrabaMatch shows you your ranking in the USA, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland. It also gives you an ITN (International Tennis Number) which is an ITF (International Tennis Federation) ranking system in place across the whole world. This means you can use GrabaMatch when you're overseas on business or holiday, knowing that you're going to get a good match at the right level!
A unique aspect of GrabaMatch is its support to the improvement of registered users. Your ITN comes with an ITF description of your level of play and also gives you advice and detail on what is needed in order to move up to the next level. This is a great tool for maximising practice time and really starting to understand your game and strengths and weaknesses.
