Player Comments:

  • "We have played twice before and the matches have been really close so I knew to win I would have to play well, thankfully for me I got most of my first serves in and also had a really low error count all round by my standards. Richard was not playing to the level he can with more unforced errors than previously so with those combined it meant this one went in my favour. "  -- Andrew

Second set was comfortable for Daniel and looked like he was going to win with him playing better and my tennis elbow getting worse as we went on but another bit of luck for me as Daniel hit another patch of mistakes in the third set tie break allowing me to grind out the win."  -- Andrew

Player Comments:

I was lucky to take it at 7-5 and really there were only a couple of points between us. First set was looking a bit brighter for me at 3-1 up with a break, but Andrew had to retire with a very painful elbow. Hope it heals soon!"  -- DAVID

Second set there wasn't much in it - a bit of tiredness and more errors the other side. Ivan played really well for a first match back after a long winter break! Really enjoyable game, great tennis and hope to play again soon."  -- DAVID

Player Comments:

  • "We ended up as the only players brave/foolish enough to turn up on court at Canford on a fairly wet evening as the conditions alternated between light drizzle and definite actual rain. Despite the sub-optimal conditions, we both played plenty of good shots - Andy won a good deal of points via his strong cross-court forehand, although I had the greater consistency overall this time around. Cheers for the game, catch you another time!"  -- Doug
