- "Tom took a while to get going in the first set as he had problems with his grip. But once he removed the grip the match really got started. He was solid in the second set and stepped up his game with some fantastic volleys and backhand lobs. In the final set I got lucky with a few points and somehow found myself with a 5-1 lead. He came back to 5-3 but I held my nerve to take the set." -- James

- "Such a close match! Jay dominated play in the first set with brilliant shots from all parts of the court. In the second set he was up 3-0 and I was sure that the match was over, but I broke his serve for the first time and the momentum swung in my favour. I won the next 9 games in a row leaving me 3-0 up in the third set. He then broke back and held taking it to 3-3 on my serve. That game lasted a long time and had numerous break points but I held. At 3-4 Jay was serving and he was down 0-40. He came back, won that game and then beat me in my next service game wothout me taking a point. Jay was then serving for the match at 5-4. I narrowly won the next three games to take the match." -- James

Player Comments:
- "I have been looking forward to playing Darren the Wall as I was eager to observe his defensive skills that he is well known for. Forget the first set, Darren was nowhere near his best! But he was a different player in the 2nd set and was causing me all sorts of problems. I could see why they call him the Wall because I just couldn't hit winners against him, even though I was striking the ball well! The biggest game of the match was at 4-4 on my serve which lasted quite a while as both of us were so determined to win the game. On one of the break points Darren missed an easy put-away at the net. We both couldn't believe he didn't execute the shot. I eventually won that game and then broke Darren to win 6-4 and the match. Thanks for the game." -- Owen

- "The first set was close. I narrowly took an early break and was leading 5-2 in the set. But I was playing safe and Stuart began to take advantage hitting brilliant winners and dominating the rallies. He broke back taking the set to 5-4. I hold my nerve to win the set 6-4. Knowing I would not win by playing safe, I was more aggressive in the second set and battled on to take the match." -- James
Reveal CommentOwen Morris bt Tom White (Jul 17) 7-5, 7-5
Player Comments:
- "A match that neither player deserved to lose! Tom was a different player to the one I played in the previous league. All aspects of his game had definitely improved since our paths last crossed. I was impressed with his fighting spirit. In both sets I managed to get an early break only for him to break straight back. The 2nd set was intense! I was up 4-1 and was thinking that Tom was too far behind to get back in it, but I was wrong! Tom dominated the next 4 games and had 2 set points at 4-5 15-40 on my serve. I managed to get it to deuce. The crucial game lasted forever and after saving a few more set points I got lucky with a net cord (sorry!) to make it 5-5. After two more hard fought games I clinched the set 7-5 to win the match." -- Owen

Player Comments:
- "It's a very good weather day today at Heath, not too hot, not too much windy. First set Stuart start with his serve and game easily, I also try to hold my serve as well, the game so close and we are at 2 : 2, Then I am able to use forehand better and able to break his serve, so first set is mine. Anyway in set 2, his forehand with rising the ball is fantastic, if I cannot return to end of court, he will finish his point. Our internal game is so closed, the 6:2 in set 2 will mislead his actual performance. Thank you for arrange court for us, nice to meet you and Wish you all the best of the rest of match. Cheers." -- Siriphan

- "This was our fourth meeting, with Paul winning the previous three matches fairly convincingly. Finally i prevailed although my opponent's consistency wasn't quite there today and he was moving around the court somewhat gingerly due to a knee injury. Even still, it was a competitive game especially in the first game of the second set which must have had at least twenty deuces. Cheers Paul, hope the knee gets better." -- Stuart

So I knew this is another tough match for me and it is. 1st set I start break him so fast by hit aggressive, but with his consistency he hold all the game and break my serve game then we score 5:5, Oh I though the history might repeat itself. But lucky that I was able to manage next 2 game with some lucky point, so happy that history not repeat. 2nd set start under sunny sky, unfortunately his 1st serve seem gone, so I grab this chance to break his game and finally got the set. I’m so tried when play with him, he make me run all court, very good indeed for keep return all the point. Wish your serve come back and win next game. Cheers. " -- Siriphan

We start 1st set on all season surface court which ball is so slow, I can hit the ball well and able to get first set, 2nd set we change the court to Hard surface with coating, Tom able to come back easily, score is just step in parallel, You hold I hold, You break I break, until score is 5:5, and this is last time I break him and I able to hold my serve game.

But Darren suddenly found his feet and began returning all my shots. He clawed his way back to 4-4 and I was beginning to worry the match was going to go to a third set in the sweltering heat.

Player Comments:
- "Based on our previous encounter I knew I was in for a tough match, and this match certainly was! I started strongly with a love hold service game and was 30 or 40-0 up in the 2nd game and on the brink of a 2-0 lead at which point I was licking my lips. But Stuart displayed his fighting spirit and won that game and then broke me to be up 1-2. My heart sank! I knew I had to increase my intensity and I was then VERY FORTUNATE to win that set 6-2 after so many missed chances from Stuart. In the 2nd set I was 5-0 up after, again, Stuart was unable to convert on many game points. Stuart won the next 2 games after some unbelievable defending! But I was able to close the match to win 6-2. Very physical battle and my back sure ached the next day!" -- Owen

At 3-2 up in the 2nd set Darren looked set for an easy victory, however his game and his legs deserted him allowing me to reel off ten games on the trot, although there was very few quality shots from either of us. Nearing the end surprisingly Prince Charles drove past. Unsurprisingly he didn't stop." -- Stuart

- " Wow what a match! Best match of the tournament in my book, and one which could easily have gone either way. It was the most enjoyable game i played this season with both of us playing for winners and chasing everything in sight. After losing the first set I was determined to try and get one point out of the match to make myself safe in the group so I dug in and managed to win the second. But then there had to be a third. Cerith Continued hammering his first serve in at one heck of a pace with rebound balls spraying of my racket in all directions. And I couldn’t help but standard admire when he slotted yet another passing shot down the line to win the point time after time. the light nearly beat us but we got there. Cheers Cerith. " -- John

Second set begins and mark again was 3-0 before you know it, I was making too many errors by over hitting it, so suddenly I found more of a rhythm in my game and after few rallies and deuces (mark could’ve easily one this set too) I won 6-4.

The 1st Set started with breaks of serve by both players and some good rallies. At 3-2 I knew I was in for a tough match. I managed to win a couple of games in a row and take the 1st set.

Michael is a gent and a great sport. He narrowly won a tight first set and the second was just as tight and I nicked it.

I was up early in the 2nd set and whilst Morgan never let me get away I closed it out 6-4. At 2-2 in the decider the match was in the balance. I won 3 really quick games which was out of character for the whole match and closed out the set and the match 6-3.

Morgan's got some really good shots, he even served an ace which seemed to go through my racket. The sun was out, the tennis was excellent, the match was even - what's not to enjoy? Well, only one thing actually - the guy on the court down from us who kept shouting to the heavens at 200 decibels every time he messed up. And judging by the tinnitus in my ear, that was every other shot. Ha ha ha, not really, tbh he added to the experience because Morgan and I could be smug that we were actually enjoying our game which is what it's all about.

- "A good match in good spirit. Dan has a very good serve and honestly, I couldn't get anywhere near it in the first set. Several aces saw the match levelled at 4-4. I held serve under lots of pressure and then was able to get some returns in at 5-4 to take a competitve first set. After getting broken in the 1st game of the 2nd set, I tried to keep the unforced errors to a minimum and my 1st serves started to land so I went on a bit of a run to see out the match.

My fitness was dreadful in the summer heat of Heath Park, and my legs seem to be playing a different game to what I was playing. I managed to keep my nose in front for much of the first set with some fortunate shots. Lots of never ending deuce games drained us both, and at 4-4 in the 2nd, I was ready to go home.

- "Top bloke and a great friendly game. Llyr is a superior player with a fantastic forehand and backhand that can keep anyone on the baseline whilst he awaits his opportunity to hit a forehand winner or dink a drop shot. The first set he clearly demonstrated he was a better player with a consistent serve and winning game and mindset. Second set I dropped 2set points when 5-1 up and from then he only needed 1 match point to win a very close and competitive second set where I was probably too complacent. Certain for promotion, a very good young player!" Kevin

Sinead punished me with some fantastic shots that i didn’t even move for. So many long games / rallies and deuces.
