Tennis

All you need is luv: We've been playing tennis in Ottawa at least since the 1870's, when the game was first played on the ground of Rideau Hall. Today, there are dozens of courts and hundreds of players who take part in the game. If you're a fan of the game, you'll want to check out the OttawaTennis.com, the home page of the National Capital Tennis Association. They've got the latest news about local leagues and tournaments, a list of places to play, and plenty of other helpful links. And if you're looking for a partner to play with, check out the Ottawa Virtual Tennis Club.
