Collapse AllBracknell Singles - Round 15 | Thursday 27 June 2019 to Wednesday 21 August 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 24 July 2019)
A big group this time and just a few more matches not played than ideal, but there was some great, friendly tennis nevertheless. Thanks for all the hard work scheduling the matches and thanks too for the excellent commentaries that really brings it all to life. Here's to the next round! If you can help spread the word we would be really grateful!
Group Summary:
A nice return to the league for Andy - a group winner from Round Three! Even though he wasn't able to grab his bonus points, which made it tighter at the top of the table, he won all his six matches in straight sets! A great effort but well done too to Jesus for making it as close as he could and for earning the silver.

- "t didn't start that well for me in the first set, and I expected it was going to be a disaster as in my first match. The second set started better, with me attacking and leading 4-2. Then I lost concentration, and Chris came back. Although I managed to focus on the tie-break and win the set. When we resumed today after stopping half way through the 3rd set we both were melting under the heat wave. Chris was playing some really good shots, but fortunately for me I was starting with two games advantage from before the break, so I managed to keep the distance and win the match. Heat aside, an enjoyable match!" - Marcello
Player Comments:
- "We were worried about the weather, as it started to rain as soon as we got in the court, but then it stopped. In the first set Hellinda had to 'warm up', so despite her superiority in the rallies I managed to serve particularly well, and also to win enough break points to win the set. In the second set the situation was quite the opposite, and Hellinda got the best out of me. It really could have gone either way. I will enjoy playing some friendly matches after the tournament is over," -- Marcello
Player Comments:
- "A very balanced match with long rallies and a big psychological fight particularly in the last games. It was very exciting to get to a tie break in the third set. Very close and enojoyable match. Thanks for playing Chris!" -- Jesus
Player Comments:
- "Absolutely fantastic match. Thanks." -- Andy
Player Comments:
- "Always great to play Helinda." -- Andy
Player Comments:
- "What a enjoyable match with Hellinda! We had to postpone the match for an hour because of the rain, but I really wanted to play that day because I had all the hype from being at Wimbledon the day before. I think I got some tips from the best players and I think I played one of my best matches ever. Hellinda was fighting and playing always with a smile, and we had lots of long rallies, balls to the lines and very good quality tennis. See you in the next league Hellinda!" -- Jesus
Player Comments:
- "We had some great rallys and lots of great points, Hellinda has a very solid stroke on her forehand, and really need to mix things up a bit to play against her. It was a great match and I have enjoyed it very much. Thanks a lot." -- Chris
Player Comments:
- "A very close match, it could have gone either way. Great to see and play Neil again, I'm looking forward to a friendly after the league has finished!!" -- Hellinda
Player Comments:
- "A great match with Marcello, who is returning from a long break without playing but he was having some moments with great shots as well as other moments with more difficulties. He will be at full level soon! " -- Jesus
Player Comments:
- "Good tennis rallys, had some good shots, enjoy it, weather was ok. thanks" -- Chris
Player Comments:
- "And yet another marathon with Hellinda :) Many amazing powerful shots in the corners by Hellinda and I was just lucky I had enough energy to run and return them. Thanks for the great game " -- Rachael
