In May of the same year that the Queen's Quire first appeared - 1922 - the Queen's College Tennis Club was formed. The founder members seem to have favoured initial encounters with the girls' school and matches were played against Girls' High and Queenswood.
With considerable interest in the game, proficiency was limited by Queen's two tennis courts, offering court practice to only a handful of players each afternoon. Most boys played cricket as well and the league had prior claim on their time. The local Poplar Grove Club offered competitive practices and matches and for some Queenian players this proved beneficial. Interest in the game continued to grow.
A singles tennis championship began to feature each season and in 1933 the Burgess Tennis Cup was presented to the winner. Local matches were played regularly and country matches against Whittlesea, Bolotwa and Tylden were arranged. Interschool tennis matches began against Dale in 1934, coinciding with the regular first and second team cricket fixtures. A Halliday and C Landman emerged as the school tennis stars in these years and they wore the new tennis cap (badge on plain white cap) with pride.
