Collapse AllBromley Women's Singles - Round 10 | Thursday 23 January 2020 to Wednesday 18 March 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 19 February 2020)
A lovely round in Bromley with great tennis and fantastic commitment. Only 4 matches were unplayed which means 895 of all possible matches were! Hope to expand this league in future rounds and make it the great local fixture it deserves to be.
Group Summary:
Many thanks to everyone for the huge effort put into this round and also for entering into it in such good spirits. Some of the match ups were a bit uneven but there were so many generous comments it cheered us up in these troubled times. For example, Vicky said, 'Despite the score, it was lovely to meet Tracey and we did have a laugh,' We like the sound of the 'effortless backhand from Jude', Tracey's Federer-esque back hand winners and nice angled returns from Claire but in the end there was no one to touch Vicky, who takes gold, and runner up Lucy who lost only to the champ. Well played.

Player Comments:
- "Lovely to see you again Jude. I know your serve was ‘off’ today which was a shame and reflected in our first set score. BUT...I knew a comeback was almost certainly around the corner for our second set. You hit your stride. A great competitive match as always with some fantastic rallies (from most of which, you were the victor). The weather was absolutely glorious today and I thoroughly enjoyed our match and your company. See you soon :-) " -- Rebecca

Player Comments:
- "Another nice game against Claire although the courts were a bit damp underfoot. Still struggling on serve but there's a glimmer of hope that I've found the problem. Lots of nice angled returns from Claire didn't help matters when I did get a serve in! " -- Jude

Match of the Group:
Reveal CommentJude Urwin bt Pam Naylor (Mar 9) 6-4, 6-4Player Comments:
- "What a battle against a challenging and sporting opponent! So many rallies and deuces. I was having a mare again with serve so I was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately the rest of my game was in tune today and the decent weather at last meant I was able to retrieve enough of Pam's tricky slice shots. Both sets hinged on a few key points though and I think the luck fell my way. " -- Jude
Player Comments:
- "Lovely to meet Pam and was surprised that this was the only her 4th singles game! We had some lovely rallies and hopefully this league has spurned Pam to continue with singles!" -- Vicky

Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable game, as usual with Claire!" -- Silvia
Player Comments:
- "As always really enjoyed our game. The score does not reflect the match. Most game went to deuce. I was just lucky the wind was on my side today! Looking forward to playing again when it is not so blustery!" -- Vicky
Player Comments:
- "First time meeting the lovely Tracey today. I always enjoy a match played in good spirits with lots of laughs and we had just that. Some of Tracey’s Federer-esk back hand winners were worth applauding, just “too good”! Thank you for the game and best of luck with the rest of the round. All the best :-)" -- Rebecca
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match today Silvia it was fun despite the cold!" -- Pam
Player Comments:
- "It was a blustery and then wet match, and neither of us really got into our stride, so there were rather too many double faults and unforced errors! But it was enjoyable nonetheless, and I hope we can play again when we’re both on better form. Worth noting a seemingly effortless backhand volley from Jude - now part of her repertoire?!" -- Tracey
Player Comments:
- "After debating as to whether to play today, thinking that storm Dennis may still be lurking it was actually a lovely sunny afternoon. Despite the score, it was lovely to meet Tracey and we did have a laugh. Good luck with the rest of your game." -- Vicky
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable match with Silvia, albeit in diabolical weather for the second half! I don't think I've ever been so soaked! But we had some lovely rallies and Silvia has a great cross-court forehand. Thanks Silvia - hope to play you again soon. " -- Tracey
Player Comments:
- "We kept out of the storm and played indoors today. So this did give me the home advantage, playing on carpet but hopefully Jude thought it was worth keeping out of the wind and rain and actually being warm playing tennis in Feb! " -- Vicky
Player Comments:
- "It was a beautiful sunny day, reminded me how much I love playing outside, just need more days like this! Had some lovely rallies, good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Vicky
Player Comments:
- "Really blustery conditions made serving and tracking the ball challenging. My ground strokes were working well today so I was able to put Silvia under a bit of pressure on the base line. " -- Jude
Player Comments:
- "We were lucky finished playing just in time before the heavens opened! Good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Vicky
