Player Comments:
- "This was Jason's first ever match playing on carpet, so there was a lot of adjustment to make. The weather on the day was extremely cold, so Jason came in very 'frozen' and it took him a little while to warm up, but after warming up, he started getting too hot, so had to adjust the outfit to reduce a few layers before start. The match started to Victor's advantage with Victor taking a 1-0 lead, giving Jason awkward balls to return and playing solid lobs (throughout the match) at key shots. Jason quickly realised he would have to throw the whole kitchen sink at Victor. This is what happened. Jason's serve wasn't perfect, but was solid enough to give Victor quite a bit of trouble. There were a series of mind-breaking and fund long rallies." -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "Terence came right on time and ready to play, getting straight into his warmup and stretching. Jason was there on time too doing his skip-rope hops and stretching his wrists. Weather was very cold, but also very dry, with zero traces of wind in sight and the sky which was totally cloudless. The match kicked off strong for Terence who immediately made Jason feel under pressure, causing Jason to not hit through his shots properly and to make quite a lot of unforced errors to start off with. Terence held a lead until 4th game, at which point 2:2 was the score and Jason started pulling away, having gotten more into his game. The first set was much closer than 6-3 score reflects. Second set Terence took the lead, but Jason regained control & won" -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "Vivienne successfully made Jason run around quite a bit throughout the match and played a lot of impressive short cross-court winners after quite a long rally. Jason played a number of unforced errors at one point leading to a 15:40 lead for Vivienne during one of Jason's service games. The weather was cold, but dry and AELTC shone as a superb location for playing matches (both inside and outside). Both players were super respectful to each other and the score perhaps doesn't reflect as well the level to which this match got a bit closer to the wire than it looks. Lots still to learn for both players about this wonderful sport. " -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "A very tough match for both players, with the courts also in somewhat tricky conditions with one side being slightly damp and unpredictable as to whether it's slippery or not. Bharani gave Jason a right run-around and many games went into a deuce and tiebreak 'struggle'. The final score is not reflective of the toughness of the overall match and how close many of the games were. The match was overall very fairly played with only couple of points being repeated due to unsure line call. Many of the points that were played hit the line at a crucial moment and came to be very uncertain as to which player was going to win that point. Tough match in tough conditions." -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "This match was tough for both Pal and Jason. They both came into the match tense (for their own reasons) and played a lot of unforced errors throughout. However, there were a number of longer rallies that took place. Both opponents gave their best effort, considering the face they were both pretty tight and not really able to play their usual game. It's the mark of the tough players if they are able to grind through those 'off' days and still do their best and not give up. This is what happened with both. The match was much closer than scores would have with both players stealing games from each other from 30:0 up or down or breaking the serve. Not an epic clash, but an interesting case study of playing under pressure. " -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "A fantastic match between two highly competitive players. Many long rallies with lots of variety of shots and several games at deuce with tight, competitive points." -- Jason
Player Comments:
- "A very fair and quite competitive match between Jason and Maurice. " -- Jason
