Collapse AllChiswick House Gardens Singles - Round 6 | Thursday 3 September 2020 to Wednesday 28 October 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 30 September 2020)
Another busy round in Chiswick House Gardens league with 3 well contested groups and lots of on court drama! Our debutants quickly got into their stride earning midway bonus points and a few topping their groups, and some old rivalries were renewed as well. Keep up the good work!
Group Summary:
There was a new face at the top of Group 1 as Marco impressed on debut with 5 wins undefeated and all without dropping a set! In fact there were no 3 set matches in the whole group which is unusual, and Andrew's match against Paul was the closest scoreline at 6-3 6-4. It was a close contest for runner up spot with Flavio just pipping Andrew to the post thanks to earning midway bonus points.
Final Rankings:
- Marco Molone [W5] 12 includes 2 bonus points WINNER
- Flavio Taffoni 7.2 [W4, L2] 10 includes 2 bonus points RUNNER UP

Well done to Jacqui too for staving off a third set against Hannah by winning the second set 7-5.
