Champions Jo Horne and Tom Keisel are due to defend their County Championships titles this week.
The Leicestershire Senior County Closed Championships annual event begins on Saturday with the finals being played on August 1 and 2.
Horne, from the Leicestershire Club, is seeded to meet Melton's Helen Thorpe in the women's final.
If the men's event goes according to the seedings, Keisel will face County colleague Jack Simpson in the final.
There has been an increase in entries this year with more than 400 matches to be played during the week, so organisers are hoping for fine weather. Play begins at the Leicestershire Club at 10am each weekend and at 5.30pm during the week.
Admission is free and spectators are welcome.
