Collapse AllChelmsford Singles - Round 13 | Thursday 17 January 2019 to Wednesday 13 March 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 13 February 2019)

A mixed turnout in the first round of the year in Chelmsford with some players getting on court for lots of matches and others not making it off the start line. Thanks to everyone who did take part and we hope you enjoyed your time on court. Here's to more tennis next time!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to Martin who won four out of four to climb into top spot, though it was far from a walk in the park at times. Runner up Simon proved to be a particularly tricky opponent for Martin, and had their match tiebreak gone the other way the group crown would have been his. Hats off to both Joanne and Mohammed for playing the majority of their matches and scheduling well to earn a bonus prize.
