Player Comments:

  • "played on hard court after previous match when Stefano experienced the Catford bounce on the grass courts. First set I raced to 5-1 lead but Stefano came back to 4-5 and back on serve but I broke to take it. Second set Stefano broke to be 2-1 but couldn't hold after and I went on a run to 5-2. he then held and this time I served the match out at the first opportunity. Serve was key in the match as a first serve mean being ahead in the point but second serves meant that you were on the defensive. Finally won the league after 5 attempts... "  -- Julian

Fortunately, my serve came back in the second which helped and a couple of key points went my way. In the third, we were both tiring, but a couple of big serves at key times helped get me over the line."  -- David

Carsten saved 2 match points at 5-2 down serving to stay in the match and then had 15-40 with me serving at 5-3. I managed to somehow hold it together and get over the line. This was an action replay of the last time we played."  -- Julian

Player Comments:

  • "Played on grass in the expectation that rain would come at anytime. A few specs here and there but the heavens didn't open until 6pm so we had nothing to worry about. David got off to a slow start and the first set went to me fairly quickly. Second set David rallied and blasted through his first two service games without losing a point. Key moment came at 1-2 with me serving, I saved two break points then managed to break to be 3-2 and then stayed consistent and close the match out. We then had time to play a practice set which David won 6-4 playing some really good grass court tennis. "  -- Julian

The second set looked to be going in a very different direction and Rus ran off to a 3-0 lead and was looking good for 4-0. I was really worried, since the sun seemed to have taken all my strength, but somehow I hung in there and took that game to take it to 3-1. I won the next three games too, to take a 4-3 lead. I had a decent chance for 5-3 but blew it and Rus took it to 4-4. From there a few unforced errors from Rus enabled me to get over the line.

Player Comments:

  • "My toughest game yet. Played in 3 hours over 2 sessions and finished in sweltering heat. Was on knife edge from beginning to end. Felt like we were locked at deuce for ever! My serve got me out of trouble on many occasions, as Robbie was ruthless in targeting my backhand and very agressive coming to the net. Luckily I found my slice reliable to stay in many tough points. Both struggled to find rythm in the heat and came down to fine margins to say the least. Really enjoyable, looking forward to the rematch! Cheers "  -- Macalister

Player Comments:

  • "What a tough game! Both of us were a bit tired going into it.. but meant a match of contrasting approaches! Aihan was a model of consistency just getting everything back, leaving me to try and kill points - with very mixed results! Managed to break and hold right at the end of both sets for the win. But only just. Great game, cheers! "  -- Macalister

Reveal CommentMacalister Bexon bt Martin Collins (Jul 1) 6-3, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "Really enjoyable game. Martin kept me guessing with his tricky slice serve, though he joked he was keeping himself guessing too! Martin was coming back to tennis after a long break, and although the serve was rusty he still crunched a number of cross-court forehands after sending me the wrong way. Good fun, and some great rallies. Cheers. "  -- Macalister

Reveal CommentMacalister Bexon bt Jasmin Bukic (Jun 25) 6-4, 0-6, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "Tough opening match! First set was a real battle with both of us serving well, until a quick flurry of breaks and a tight finish. It clearly took it out of me as Jasmin steamrollered me in the second! Third was wide open, swapping breaks throughout, I don't think I held serve until the final game! Some great net play too; Jasmin's drop shot - lob combo worked alsmost every time! Great game. Cheers."  -- Macalister
