Player Comments:
- "Great to play Kyle for the first time this evening on the David Lloyd Gidea Park magic carpet. I got off to a really fast start with some decent serves and some decent winning shots. Kyle kept working away and although I got the job done effectively in the second set, it was a good match where I had to play my best tennis to win. Lovely to meet you Kyle, hopefully see you again soon for another. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Great match at Brentwood today. Lots of good rallies and a very tense championship tiebreak at the end. See you again soon Bob." -- Sam
Player Comments:
- "Another cracking match against Sam today on the David Lloyd Gidea Park orange carpet. Sam is always a tough opponent and today was no different. I definitely had home advantage on the tricky fast court, and I pressed that advantage to the best of my ability with lots of decent defensive work and some solid serving. Sam returned well and had plenty of close calls that luckily went my way. Both of us played some decent tennis but I managed to close it out with some decent forehands and a couple of good lobs. See you soon for the next one Sam. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Very tentative and nervy opening set but felt more relaxed in the second after getting the first in a tiebreak and managed to play my shots in the second. " -- Sam
Player Comments:
- "Good very competitive match with lots of rallies" -- Bob
Player Comments:
- "Great to see Kyle back in the league again as it gave me another opportunity to try and find that elusive win after losing the previous two times. Felt like I had to be more aggressive as I’ve been involved in too many brutal 3 set matches recently, and fortunately was able to get the win in 2 sets over a great player. Good luck in your other matches and hopefully we’ll get in another game soon!" -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Great hit, Bob got some rhythm in the second set wining some good points, plus we got great weather for a Sunday morning match! Good luck in the rest of your matches Bob" -- Kyle
Player Comments:
- "Where to begin!! Such an entertaining match against Tom at Hamptons where it could have gone either way. There were points in the match where I thought I would be writing a very different summary but Tom pegged me back from 5-2 in the first and late on in the third very well. Some quality rallies and solid serving in what was a physical match. Painful to lose but Tom’s experience held up and I look forward to playing him again. Good luck for the rest of your matches Tom - I’ll get you next time!!" -- Sam

Player Comments:
- "Alison and I managed to finish the match today after running out of court time on our first meeting. We resumed the match at 4-4, which then went to a tie break. I managed to win the match on the tie break but was fully expecting to go to a third set, as Alison is a strong player and very consistent. Hope to see you in the next round! " -- Alison
Player Comments:
- "Another enjoyable game with Elgan. He really came back in the second set and we had lots of deuce games and long rallies. Definitely gave me a hard time! Well played Elgan 😊" -- Samantha
Player Comments:
- "Lots of tight games with several deuces. Some great, strong rallies and quite a bit of running each other around the court. Great match - really enjoyed our time on court and look forward to our next encounter in the league" -- Alison
Player Comments:
- "Great playing with you Alison" -- Simeon
