Player Comments:
- "A good match, Muhammad is just getting back into the game and was a little rusty but grew in confidence as the game progressed. The score does not do justice to Muhammad who played some good shots. " -- Nicholas
Player Comments:
- "A good match played in great spirits, Carmel is a lovely person znd good player. The game was close until I broke serve in the 7th game after which my consistency rose and Carmel's dropped fractionally giving me the edge through the rest of the match. The games were closer than the score suggests and Carmel was playing some great shots all the way through the match. Good luck Carmel for your remaining games." -- Nicholas
Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable match that could have gone either way (I did seem to have a lot of luck with the net cord as well). Well played Nick, hopefully we'll get to play again in the future. Adam" -- Adam
Player Comments:
- "A good fun match which was very even. Nicholas was friendly and fair. Great match thank you!" -- Nick
