WATCH out for the next Tim Henman when two international tennis tournaments takes place in Bolton.
Some of the best emerging British and international players will take part in the Men's £25,000 Challenger and the Ladies' £10,000 Tournament at the Bolton Arena.
Competing men will be battling it out for a share of a prize fund of around £13,800, with the winner getting just over £2,400. The women's prize fund will be around £5,500.
The tournament, which has been organised by the Lawn Tennis Association, will feature players ranked inside the world's top 300 as they aim to boost their ATP listing.
Organisers have yet to confirm which players will be taking part, but the field will include several of the best up-and-coming British stars aiming to follow in Henman's footsteps - with some of those taking part likely to feature at Wimbledon next year.
The tournament qualifiers will take place on October 16, 17 and 18. Play will take place each day from 10am until around 9pm during the early rounds.
The semi-finals will take place on Saturday, October 23 from 11am, with the finals at the same time the following day. Admission is free.
