Player Comments:

  • "An absolutely epic three hour battle at Hamptons was played out in great spirit this morning with an injury retirement ending neither player wanted! Both players put in 100% and the match was going right to the wire when Tom unfortunately pulled up with a thigh injury. It was the cruellest of endings after such a great match. We both agreed for the match to be a draw, which was a sporting end to a sporting match. Well played Tom, what a player. See you soon for the next marathon!" -- Lee

Reveal CommentLee Healey bt Mohammed Shihab (Mar 19) 6-3, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "It was a pleasure to play Shihab this morning on a windy but sunny David Lloyd Gidea Park outdoor court. The first set was pretty tense, with the wind creating challenging conditions which made it hard no matter which end you were playing! Shihab played his usual excellent, consistent game, with great defensive shots and some banging winners. I just managed to edge the first set with some decent serving and some solid winners. The second set came together for me, with my fitness playing a part as I ran about with my usual enthusiasm. In the end I was very happy to get the win to set up a nice last match. Well played Shihab, see you soon for another game. "  -- Lee

Player Comments:

  • "It is always good to play Shihab - he is a tricky player and always challenges you. Luckily I was able to come through in 2 sets. Shihab was recovering from an injury so I am sure next time he will be at full steam. Good luck in your remaining matches."  -- Imranali

In the end my serve managed to get me over the line - despite a few double faults!! Look forward to hitting with Emma again and good luck in your next match."  -- Sam
Reveal CommentTom Guzik bt Mohammed Shihab (Feb 26) 6-4, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Great to play against Shihab again who is always one of my toughest opponents. Even by his own admission he will say he was rusty after not playing for a few months but he still gave me a tough match and you always have to earn your win against him. He will be tough to beat once he gets a few more matches under his belt! Good luck for the rest of the round!"  -- Tom
Reveal CommentTom Guzik bt Imranali Panjwani (Feb 22) 5-7, 7-5, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "This match is to be continued. Currently, the score is first set: 7-5 (Imranali) and second set, 5-5. Always great to play Tom - a consistent player and we are going to continue our match in a week or so. We continued the match on Sunday and it was gruelling. Tom took the second set and the 3rd set was close - a lot of rallies but Tom managed to come out on top by making less errors. Well done mate!"  -- Imranali

  • "Good to meet Emma. We had some good rallies and she has a mean forehand and backhand. I was able to be consistent and get over the finishing line. An enjoyable match and good luck for your matches."  -- Imranali
Reveal CommentTom Guzik bt Sam Johnson (Feb 14) 7-5, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "Was great to meet Sam and play another debutant in the Chelmsford league. I don’t think his last result does him justice as he’s got fantastic potential as a tennis player, and will only get better with more practice. I did well to hang on to him in the 1st set and after exchanging a couple of breaks, fortunately was able to serve out the set. 2nd set was a bit more routine as I had the time to adjust to his game, but he is going to cause problems for other players and I look forward to playing him again. Keep working hard at it and good luck for the rest of your matches!"  -- Tom

Player Comments:

  • "Pleasure to meet Emma and get the chance to play against her. 1st set was tricky to get used to the windy conditions but I definitely felt she had found her groove with her serve and ground strokes by the latter part of the 2nd set. Emma had a break point chance which if she had taken, could have turned the match around but fortunately I was able to get over the line. Well done Emma and good luck for the rest of your matches!"  -- Tom

Player Comments:

  • "Great to play Lee again. He is a great competitor and very consistent. The match was close, as they always are. He took the first set and so I had to fight in the second set. After winning the second set, the third set was even closer. The critical point was 4-4 and we both fought hard. Luckily I came through in the 3rd set which was played in torrid weather conditions. I look forward to play Lee again. Good luck in your next matches mate! - Imranali"  -- Imranali
Reveal CommentLee Healey bt Sam Johnson (Jan 31) 6-0, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "It was a pleasure to welcome Sam to David Lloyd Gidea Park today for our match, indoors on the orange carpet. Sam is a great young player, with bags of power on both his forehand and backhand as well as his serve. Home advantage and matchplay experience definitely helped me make a fast start. I played with my usual grind and happily lucked out with lots of hustled winners! Sam kept on the pressure though, and I had to continually stay on top of my game to take the second set. It was a day where experience held up but Sam is a cracking player and I’ll enjoy this win while I can! Enjoy the rest of your fixtures Sam, hopefully see you for another game soon. "  -- Lee

Player Comments:

  • "Absolute pleasure to play Emma at Hutton and Shenfield U.C. Lawn Tennis Club today. It was a lovely bright sunny Sunday match at a lovely venue. Emma is a great player and we had loads of super rallies, and close games. It was definitely closer than the score reflects and in the end it was just my singles match play experience that helped me edge the match. Emma is so friendly and really made me feel welcome. Good luck in the rest of your matches Emma, welcome to LTA tennis leagues! "  -- Lee
