Direct peers

• Brottkärrs TF: Tennis club in the greater Gothenburg region from which new Tennis School Manager Erika Ohlsson joined GLTK. Directly comparable member-facing tennis club with structured coaching.
• Påvelunds TBK: Gothenburg-area tennis and padel club from which GLTK's new Klubbchef Martin Stigh joined. Direct competitor for members, court bookings, and coaching in the same regional market.
• SALK (Stockholms Allmänna Lawntennisklubb): Stockholm's oldest lawn tennis club and one of Sweden's most established tennis clubs. Direct comparable legacy tennis club competing nationally for elite players and members.
• Kungsbacka TK: Swedish tennis club near Gothenburg; former employer of new GLTK coach Philip Cassel. Comparable member-owned facility with coaching and competitive programs.
• Varbergs TK: West-coast Swedish tennis club referenced as a club-exchange partner with GLTK. Comparable member-owned tennis club in a similar regional market.
• Båstad TS: Historic Swedish tennis club in the Båstad region hosting major Swedish tournaments; directly comparable legacy tennis club with national-level competitive ambitions.

Broad incumbents

• IFK Göteborg: Large multi-sport Gothenburg club with significantly broader scope. Overlaps with GLTK in local sports market but offers many other sports, making it a broader incumbent rather than a racquet-sports specialist.

Emerging players

• PDL Center (Padel Center): Sweden-focused padel-specialist chain rapidly expanding padel-only facilities. Comparable in the padel leg of GLTK's offering; partial overlap focused on the highest-growth segment.
