Players can continue to compete for glory with the second tournament on November 9-12 and a final tournament from November 16-19, offering exclusive opportunities to win some of the items coming up in this new update.
In this additional ITF World Tennis eChampionship update, new Championship branded items will be featured, including:

In keeping with the spirit of Tennis Clash and the ITF’s commitment to the community, the highly coveted “Future of Tennis String” will make its return, offering players the opportunity to support young tennis players while enhancing their own gameplay.
“Tennis Clash is the world’s most popular mobile tennis game and the ITF is proud to continue our partnership with its creators, Wildlife Studios, providing fans with an unparalleled virtual tennis experience,” said Kelly Fairweather, ITF chief executive officer. “We are also delighted that the proceeds from purchases of the ‘Future of Tennis String’ will be invested in ITF development programmes, helping us fulfill our mission of delivering tennis for future generations.”
