Player Comments:

  • "Good to play Ivan for the first time. That was probably the longest match I ever played in the league. We've had a great battle and I was actually very close to losing the match. Somehow I have managed to save 2 match points and turn things around. Will be nice to play you socially in HLTC on better courts."  -- Artem
Reveal CommentPaul Green bt Artem Karpenko (Apr 23) 6-0, 6-0

Player Comments:

  • "The result flattered me - it was definitely closer than the score suggests! Artem hit some great shots hitting the line numerous times, but I managed to edge every game. The courts at Greenhead are disappointing these days: we had to repair the net with pieces of string and we were interrupted by flying footballs (quite why people think it's acceptable to play football on the tennis courts is anyone's guess) almost every five minutes, but it didn't detract from an enjoyable afternoon's tennis."  -- Paul
