Preview

What a night we have in store from St George’s Hill Lawn & Tennis Club, with two world-class line-ups leading to a list of blockbuster match-ups.

Leading the way as the Club Heroes and first match of the night will be Miles Jenkins for the Knights and Owain Taylor for the Royals. If their prior meeting in the 2025 season is anything to go by, the pair should be in for a brilliant battle, with Jenkins coming back from 1-0 down that time to defeat Taylor on the very court the Grand Final will be played this year.

The respective U25s matches will follow, with English rising stars Olivia Besant and Asia Harris squaring off before England’s Sam Todd takes on Switzerland’s David Bernet.

 

The subsequent women’s match will feature St George’s local favourite Jasmine Hutton, currently at a career-high rank of World No.12 in the PSA Rankings, and compatriot Katie Malliff, who will be lining up for the Royals. The pair have met on several occasions in English leagues in the past, with Hutton holding a 4-0 head-to-head record over Malliff.

The final match of the night will see World No.8 Joel Makin take on World No.23 Declan James.

James was the hero of last year’s Grand Final when he battled back from a Championship Ball down in the deciding rubber against Curtis Malik to seal a dramatic title win for the Royals.

This time around, the Englishman will once again be up against it, with Makin a three-time British National Champion and one of the fiercest competitors in world squash.
