Player Comments:
- "Jason posed a threat with his serves and produced some sizzling groundstrokes. He misfired from time to time but at least three games went to deuce. I produced a solid display with good consistent serves. Thanks Jason." -- Richard
Reveal CommentFelix Watkins bt Velimir Micic (Jun 5) 6-0, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "A match very low in quality. The first set was a precession for Felix. Rather than relax and start to find his range, he suffered a huge let down in the second set and found himself trailing 1-4. Fortunately he managed to scrap his way back in to the set and won a couple of close games along the way to win in 2. But what a mighty struggle!" -- Felix
Reveal CommentFelix Watkins bt Jason Greenwood (Jun 3) 6-3, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Felix won for the loss of just three games despite being below his best. Some nervous, tentative tennis early on allowed Jason to get in to the match. Felix improved a bit as the match wore on but was still flattered by the 6-0 second set score line. " -- Felix

Reveal CommentFelix Watkins bt Jonathan Opaye-Tetteh (Jun 2) 6-1, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "A competitive match which Felix managed to win in 2 sets. The first set was probably higher quality with Felix showing the greater consistency. Jon has a dangerous forehand but can sometimes misfire with it. Second set was a struggle for Felix who was just happy to get the job done in 2. Thanks again Jon!" -- Felix

Player Comments:
- "A good match played at Danson Park. First few games went with serve, before I managed to break Roy's serve, hold on to mine and see out the set. Roy played good aggressive tennis in the 2nd set and we had lots of close games. In the end I managed to stay consistent and get over the line. Lots of interesting sport chats throughout too. Really good to meet you Roy, and good luck for the rest of the League." -- Antonio

- "A very good game played out at Russell Park. I managed to get into a rhythm in the first set, but then Ifreke came back strongly in the second set with good serving and nice passing shots. At 4-3 I fended off some break points and managed to seal the set. Nice extensive chat afterwards about klub football and the World Kup.

Player Comments:
- "This match took place in sultry conditions, albeit without the thunderstorms forecast, and ended one set apiece with the light rapidly deteriorating. Consequently we could not complete this evening. " -- Roy
- "This was a tightly contested match which, because of bad light, had to be resumed three days later for completion. Ifreke's lobs and drop shots were always a threat and might well have won the day but for the break in proceedings resulting in the final set being played in entirely different conditions," -- Roy
