- "It was a very enjoyable and competitive match, which largely depended on how many winners Richard could hit compared to unforced errors. Richard saved a matchpoint at 4-5 in the 2nd set but ended up succumbing in the tie break as some good fortune went Nigel's way." -- Nigel

Player Comments:
- "Great to be playing in the heat again! Very enjoyable match. Nigel was doing some great retrieving which saw him through the first set. I decided I had to up my game and the power of my strokes which got me the 2nd set. After a cagey opening to the last set I upped my consistency and got enough points at net to get the margins needed for victory today. Really well played by Nigel. He kept getting the ball back and kept the pressure on me throughout the entire match." -- James

Player Comments:
- "A very streaky match. Jack had the better start with a break, taking a 4-1 lead. My forehand hand was misfiring and he was getting some good play and lobs when I approached the net. Then my streak started - I took 5 straight games to win the set. Then Jack had his streak - 6 straight games for a bagel. I took hope from the fact that most of the games could have gone either way, and started the 3rd set with hope. Lo! It was my turn to develop some consistency and luck. 6-1 in the 3rd, for a hard fought win. Thanks, Jack for an excellent match. " -- Tosin

Player Comments:
- "It was an epic match played while strong wind was blowing the balls around. Terry quickly adjusted to the tricky condition and took the first set with authority. He continued to play his smart tennis and got to 5-2 in the second set, only one game away from taking the match. At this point I thought I need to just relax and stay in the points as long as I can. It gradually changed the momentum and I could see off the second set after some very long and well fought games. The combination of a little bit of tiredness and a little bit of frustration on Terry’s side helped me to take the third set as well." -- Omid

I was enjoying a 4-2 lead in the first set before he upped his game, won the first set and raced into a 5-1 lead in the second. A glimpse of a fightback was on when I made it back to 5-4 but it wasn't to be. Well done, Malcolm!" -- Rajiv

Player Comments:
- "What. A. Match. Wow. An outstanding battle once again between the 2 warriors. Both soldiers pushing each to the limit in death-defying rallies, concurrently bending the laws of Physics. First 2 sets had huge momentum swings. Nick started well but then I came back and managed to win the first set 6-4. Nick then obliterated me 6-1 in the second set. After 2 sets of wild momentum variances, the third set was an absolute war of attrition. Almost every point was long and hard-fought to the death. 4-2 to me, 4-4, 5-4 to Nick, 5-5, 6-5 to Nick, 6-6. And eventually a tiebreak. 12 exhilarating points later, Nick had won it 7-5. Well played Nick and well done on the victory. I'm not sure I will be able to walk for the next week. An outstanding battle" -- Antonio

Thomas had a chance to serve for the set at 5-3 but I managed to break him and then hold my serve to make it 5-5. I then won the next 2 games to take the set 7-5. The second set started in a similar fashion. Thomas got an early break and was leading 4-2. I managed to fight back and take the next 4 games to win the set 6-4 and therefore the match. Some very good rallies were had and some impossible shots somehow returned by us both. Thanks for a great match and I look forward to playing again." -- Chris
