About TennisCity

One ladder.
One number.
One tap.

TennisCity is the tennis ladder of your neighbourhood. You challenge the one ahead of you, win — and take their place. No ranking, no points, no levels. Just your place.

Why it exists

TennisCity is built by one person, in Freiburg. The reason is simple: if you're not in a club, you hardly find anyone to play with in this city. You write in groups, ask for times, wait for answers — and end up playing with the same two people again.

The back-and-forth over times is the real problem, not a lack of players. So TennisCity knows your playing times and suggests the time right along: Friday, 18:00, against Anna. One tap, and the match is on.

The ladder starts in Freiburg with a 20 km radius. As soon as two players are in a city, it gets a ladder of its own automatically.

How the game works
1
The ladder

Everyone stands in a place. You challenge someone up to five places ahead of you. If you win, you swap.

2
Challenging costs nothing

If you lose as the challenger, everything stays as it is. Only the one being challenged risks their place.

3
The time comes with it

You set once when you can play. We intersect your times and suggest a slot. The court you settle in the chat.

What we don't do
No points
No XP, no coins, no levels next to the place. A badge with no played match behind it devalues the match.
No score
After the match you tap once: won or lost. Anyone who enters their own loss is believed right away. "6-4 3-6" belongs in the chat.
No tournaments
No groups, no doubles, no club administration. The ladder is the game.
Every city has its ladder.
All cities

Your city is missing? Then the ladder there starts with you — and with the partner you play with anyway.

As soon as two players stand in a city, it gets a ladder. The first one is automatically no. 1 — until someone comes along. Write to us, or just join.
