It's a shame this round had to end slightly early but at least a lot of matches had already been played across the groups. You'll all receive a 50% off coupon in your accounts to use for a future round due to this one being cut short... and we're looking forward to getting going again soon!

Group Summary:

There was a new face at the top of Group 1 as David impressed on debut, winning 4 matches an earning midway bonus points to finish 5 points clear of newly promoted Carmel. David won their head to head in straight sets but "the score does not reflect the number of tight deuce games" while Carmel won a close 2 setter against Tom. A shout out to Kyle too for coming from a set down to win the next 2 sets on tiebreaks after 2hr 43mins of tennis... what a match!

Group Summary:

There was a 2 horse race at the top of Group 2 with Mohammed and Vishal both winning 3 matches, however Mohammed was quicker off the mark with match scheduling and earned midway bonus points to help him secure top spot. Kudos to Vishal for winning their head to head though despite Mohammed's "excellent drop shots", the opening set going to a close tiebreak.
