The event was established last year and was a resounding success, giving the Mareeba Tennis Club the right momentum to push forward for their second event.
Teams from Cooktown, Clifton Beach, Innisfail and Atherton travelled for a chance to play each other in the round robin tournament.
There was a record number of 24 teams split across the three grades available, special, A grade and B grade.
Event organiser Neale Searle said that the response to the Savannah Slam has been overwhelming with more teams registering than last year.
“It has been a really good response and we have more teams than last year,” he said.
“The teams were all really looking forward to this weekend.
“People really enjoy the format it’s more of a social format than usual tournaments.”
