High quality tennis was played throughout this round as old rivals battled, great members returned to the league and all made new friends along the way! It was clear that enjoyable tennis was played and lots of fun was had, here's to the next round, Bexley Parks!

Group Summary:

David avenged a defeat against Christopher after a 5 month lay off with injury on his way to securing the top spot for this round! Christopher came in second after what David described as simply an "off day" for Christopher, we're anticipating another match soon between these rivals! Felix had a nice birthday treat against James after what he described as a 'poor performance' in his first two games and won 6-1, 6-1. Nobody scored bonus points which could have helped to make a difference in this league, let us know if there is anything to do that we can help. Welcome back to Jamie, David and Christopher after your short break from the league, and welcome to Felix who joined Bexley Parks from the Christchurch Park, Ipswich league, some great additions to the group!

  • "A nice birthday victory for Felix after the poor performances of the last two matches. Blustery conditions made it tough but some decent serving by Felix helped steer him to a comfortable win. Good game nonetheless."  -- Felix

Player Comments:

  • "It was great to be back playing again after 5 months out with an injury. It was also good to play again against Chris and to avenge a close defeat of a couple of years ago. Truth be told I caught Chris on an off day, otherwise the score could have been a lot different. Cheers for the game Chris. "  -- David

Group Summary:

Sam was the undisputed winner of this group with 4 out of 4 wins. The race for the second spot was extremely close as three people - Richard, Jason and Antonio were tied on 2 points each. As Richard beat Antonio this meant he clinched the second spot due to Jason unfortunately retiring from the league. An epic battle between the two Greenwoods of the group saw Jason win a close first set tie break before Paul (welcome back by the way!) fought back in the second set to force it to a decider. Ultimately Jason held his nerve and came through that final set 6-4. Nobody earned any bonus points here which could have made all the difference to the standings so some early scheduling in the next round could be the make or break in the final positions! Well done for some great tennis all round!
