The PINKster Tennis Tournament is a hot date on the Gay and Lesbian Tennis Alliance's summer circuit and attracts hundreds of competitors from Europe and America to the red clay courts of Goldstar in Amsterdam. Hosted by the Smashing Pink club, Amsterdam's most popular tennis club, this friendly yet competitive sporting event is the biggest gay and lesbian tennis tournament in the world.
 
Unlike the other tournaments on the circuit, which tend to be very male-dominated, the Smashing PINKsters (named after the Dutch word for Whitsun, when the tournament takes place) pride themselves on running a contest in which half the participants are women. Around 300 people take part each year.

There are two levels of entry in the competition. The main tournament is open to accomplished amateurs and semi-professionals, while the recreational tournament is open to those who enjoy just taking part.
