Player Comments:

  • "Alex gave me a good old beat down in a very one sided match at the new Oriam Tennis Centre. The courts look absolutely amazing but with no heating it's like playing outdoors in little over 5c! Excuses out the way, it was a very pleasant match with Alex as normal and I had a good run out. Thanks for the game"  -- Alexander
  • "An enjoyable match with Alex as always. I was fortunate we were playing a short format, as Alex was certainly getting the measure of the new surface and venue near the end of the match, saving 6 or 7 match points in the penultimate game, and I think would have turned it round in a longer format. Thanks for the game Alex." -- Alex
