Player Comments:

  • "Very enjoyable match with Dan as usual and this was the first time it hasn’t gone to three sets. The games were hard fought lots of big hitting rallies, quite often finished by Dan’s very effective forehand drive. I managed to stay mobile and chased enough down to come away with it in the end, but it was hard to be confident at any point!!! Thanks for the match Dan and hopefully we can do that again soon."  -- Ian
