The end of the year is approaching, and with it our traditional Christmas Rotary tennis tournament is once again just around the corner. This year, it will be held for the fourth time at the Inter Bratislava tennis complex.
We would like to cordially invite you, your family members and friends to the:
21st Christmas Rotary Tennis Cup RC Bratislava – Oskar Markovič Memorial
The tournament will take place on Saturday, 27 December 2025, at the Inter Bratislava tennis courts (behind Kaufland, Trnavská cesta 33). Parking is available in the Kaufland car park.
The playing system from previous years has proven successful and therefore remains unchanged:
the entire tournament will be played by fixed pairs, who will play all doubles matches together,
fixed pairs may register in advance or will be formed at the start of the tournament,
participants may include Rotarians, their family members or friends,
matches will be time-limited to 20 minutes,
the playing system and match draw will be specified at the opening of the tournament,
refreshments will be provided throughout the tournament.
The participation fee is set at EUR 10 per player. This fee will be used to cover refreshments, tennis balls and rental of the courts. Any surplus will be allocated to the charitable projects of RC Bratislava.
Non-playing companions and fan clubs are not required to pay the participation fee. The fee is payable upon registration on the day of the tournament.
08:30 – 09:00 Player registration, allocation to courts
09:00 – 09:15 Official opening, briefing on rules and prizes
09:15 – 12:30 Parallel doubles matches on two courts
12:30 – 13:00 Tournament evaluation and prize-giving ceremony
We warmly invite all of you to join us. Players, referees, organisers, cheerleaders, supporters, family members, friends and partners are all most welcome!
As sponsor prizes have proven popular in previous years, we kindly encourage you once again: if you have any “valuable” and humorous Christmas gifts left over after the holidays, feel free to donate them as prizes for the tournament winners.
The more prizes, the more winners! ????
It is also a great opportunity to get rid of those “valuable” household items – so-called dust collectors – that might unexpectedly bring “joy” to their new owners. After all, every participant is a winner simply by overcoming post-Christmas fatigue and taking part.
We are very much looking forward to meeting you all. Please register informally but bindingly and as soon as possible by email at zuzana.cermakova@gmail.com or kollarik@gmail.com , or by phone at +421 903 562 002 (Ms Čermáková) or +421 903 532 000 (Mr Kollárik).

Peter Kollárik – Tournament President, primarily responsible for refreshments
