Collapse AllKilburn Grange Park Singles - Round 6 | Thursday 31 August 2017 to Wednesday 25 October 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 27 September 2017)

It was great to see over 79% of matches played in Round 6 of Kilburn Grange Park Tennis League, making it a really successful round... so thank you for your enthusiasm and support! There were a lot of close 3 set matches and real battles on the court, showing how competitive the standard of tennis was... so well done everyone.

Group Summary:

It was tight at the top of Group 1 with Ryan winning a crucial head-to-head against Rodney to seal top spot, although the pair were tied on points. This was a great debut in the group for both players, finishing ahead of the last round's winner Thomas in third place. Thomas played some great matches again though, including a 3-set epic against Mark which featured two tense tiebreaks! Fading light and poor weather curtailed a couple of matches unfortunately, but all in all it was a great group!

Group Summary:

Top marks to all of you for scheduling your matches early and claiming your midway bonus points, but the group crown goes to Luca with an impressive 6 wins and 15 points on his promotion from Group 3. Runner up John had a solid round too, losing just the one match, but unfortunately Luca retired in their head-to-head. There was an epic match between Jose and Martin, with Jose coming from a set down to win in 3, and Martin was also unlucky to lose to John despite rallying brilliantly in the second set to come from 5-0 down to lose it 7-6. Great tennis!

Group Summary:

It was a brilliant league debut for Kaladerhan, who won all 7 of his matches to win the group by 5 clear points over runner up Pardaad, who himself had a strong performance with 4 wins. Tarah was the group's leading lady on 4 points, although she had a tough 3-set match against Aizhan which "really could have gone either way". Only 4 of you claimed your midway bonus points so try to schedule a few matches earlier next time so you don't miss out!
