Reveal CommentRaf O'Reilly bt Paul Rubinstein (May 30) 6-3, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "Playing Paul is a pychological as much as a physical challenge. Paul started the match playing really well, and I was hanging in there and feeling very lucky to be at 3-3 in the first set. I did everything I could to disrupt Paul's rhythm, by trying to play with a variety of shots. I'm not sure if it was that or just a few unforced errors creeping into Paul's game that saw me take the first set. I started the second set strongly and threatened to go to 3-0,but instead found myself at 2-2. Neither of us played great tennis in the second set, and my second set win was probably heavily assisted by Paul's serving dropping off and some uncharacteristic unforced errors. Am sure next time will be quite different, if I can hang in league 1 that is!"  -- Raf

Player Comments:

  • "Lovely, sunny conditions on the bank holiday Sunday. First time playing Jonathan and what a game and challenge! Jonathan has great technique and is strong on both FH and BH. The first set was tight, no breaks of serve until 6-5. Jonathan had a few slices of luck in the first set, and when I put him under pressure he produced some fantastic serves to get out of trouble. I got an early break in the second set and managed to stay solid and take the second set. Plus the luck changed and this time the net cords went my way. I perhaps had the edge on fitness which helped me over the line. I suspect our next match will be quite different now that Jonathan knows my game! Anyway, I really enjoyed playing Jonathan and look forward to the next one."  -- Raf

Tactically I tried not to get bogged down in any long crosscourt rallies with Luca's low backhand slice and played more down the line from the ad court, which seemed to work pretty well. Thanks for the match!"  -- Paul
Reveal CommentRaf O'Reilly bt Peter Martinak (May 1) 7-5, 1-6, [11-9]

Player Comments:

  • "What a cracker of a match this was! I have played Peter twice before (or 3x) and have never come close to challenging him, so I was really keen to make some impression this time around. The first set was so tight, and Peter had two set points at 5-4. I hung in there and somehow clawed out the set. I had some considerable slices of top with the ball sitting on top of the net at least twice before trickling over, and I was helped by Peter's new strings that didn't agree with him and saw him produce some v uncharacteristic unforced errors. Peter stabilised and ran away with the second set...and he went 4-0 up in the TB! Somehow I got it to 9-6...before Peter came back to 9-9. I then limped over the line with a little more luck! A great match."  -- Raf

I really struggled to control the ball at times and also had a rubbish attitude in the first hour... Jonathan couldn't land first serves, which is normally one of his big weapons. Either way, the match still had some good rallies including an incredible serve-and-volley combo by Jonathan, hitting a deep backhand volley winner from way below the net.

Player Comments:

  • "After a challenging deuce-heavy 1st game, I managed to race off to a 5-0 lead, before finding myself without an answer to Matthew's fizzing forehand winners and conceding 4 on the trot. Fortunately spared embarrassment by taking the last game. Matthew turned a 2-0 deficit in the second into a 4-2 lead which I couldn't claw back and so with time limited we went for a match tie break. My usual slice backhands weren't having much impact but managed to stay in it as we traded points on serve. At 7-7, I took a point on Matthew's serve for a shot at the match and just about made it over the line. Matthew's tucked away low returns did a lot of damage and I had to try and vary my game to stay in it. Really competitive and fun match, cheers Matthew!"  -- Laurie
