Player Comments:
- "The score in no way reflects what happened in the match. It was super tough. Davide is not only a great guy but also has amazing speed and agility. Everything comes back. The match lasted over 2hrs - long long rallies and Deuces most games. Finally I have met someone with a game even more defensive than my own. My only regret is that my friend Rhodri isn't playing this round. He and Davide would get on like a house on fire. Thanks Davide and I wish you well in your remaining matches." -- Darren
Reveal CommentDarren Bellamy bt Kevin Birt (Sep 18) 6-4, 7-6 (7-4)
Player Comments:
- "Always a tough game against Kevin. Kevins strength is that he reads the game so well. It seemed like he knew where I was going to hit the next ball before I did. We both struggled on serve but had several great rallies - I was grateful to close out the match on a tie-break as the third set could have gone either way... Thanks for the game and all the best." -- Darren

Reveal CommentOwen Morris bt Andrea Rossi (Sep 11) 6-0, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "After having a 100-shot rally during our warm up I knew it was going to be an exhausting match……. The first game of the match (which was on my serve) was a bit of a marathon. We both had game points, but it was me who was able to edge it. From that moment, I think the momentum shifted slightly in my favour. However, there were many close games that could have gone either way and the score certainly does not reflect the match. Andrea is very consistent, very quick and hit some sublime shots that were simply too good, so it was of no surprise there were many close games. The match was played in great spirit. Was great to meet you Andrea and I hope we have more matches together. All the best." -- Owen

Reveal CommentOwen Morris bt Davide Respini (Sep 4) 6-1, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Getting the ball passed Davide is almost impossible. Incredible fitness as he never seemed to get tired, despite making him run side to side as he chases pretty much every ball down. It was great to witness! He has not been playing tennis long and already he has huge potential. Thanks for the game Davide, it was lovely meeting you." -- Owen

Player Comments:
- "Perfect conditions for tennis at the Heath, and a thoroughly enjoyable knockabout with Michael. He'll be disappointed with the number of games he won with plenty of winning forehand shots hitting the lines, definitely his signature shot. Fortunately for myself I got the better of the deuce games. On a court near us was Kevin and Darren serving up a group one special, and I couldn't believe the shot making on display. Thanks for the game Michael, look forward to playing you again." -- Stuart

Player Comments:
- "Great to play Patrick again On a lovely morning for tennis at Heath Park. The match started in a similar vein to our previous match which was very close all the way through. However in the second set it was a bit one-sided until Patrick came back from 5:1 down after spurring himself on to successfully defend matchpoint. I think fatigue after just five hours sleep probably got the better of Patrick in the end. Good luck for the rest of your games Pat. " -- John
