Group Summary:
Oliver, perhaps inspired by his success in his last league outing, showed great commitment to get all of his matches set up and played, and this paid off as he notched up five wins to comfortably finish in first place. Now both Vincent and Matthew defeated Oliver, so what might have happened had they played a few more matches? As it is Vincent takes second ahead of the chasing pack after the deduction of walkover wins and bonus points.

Reveal CommentAlex Beaumont bt Sid Nyein (Apr 24) 5-7, 6-1, 6-2Player Comments:
- "I was pleased with this result as Sid is a very good player, with a big serve and some really strong ground-strokes. This was largely defense vs attack with defense winning out, with Sid deservedly winning the 1st set, and me pulling through in the next 2. I learnt to deal with his serve and keep getting the ball back in the rallies, which I guess made a big difference. There were some long deuce games which I ended up winning, so the result could have been different. Notably we had a very long deuce game with me serving the match out at 5-2 - and Sid had a number of break points. It would have made a nervy ending for me had he won that game!" -- Alex

Group Summary:
Willy's toughest match of the round was against his very first opponent Max. Once Willy had negotiated his way past Max in a couple of tight sets he only went from strength to strength and finished with an unbeaten record on the top of the podium. Well done to Tom for keeping up the chase and claiming second place.

Big credit to Jon for getting on court five times, and more importantly ending with a favourable winning record to put us in no doubt as to who the champion is. James finishes as runner up with fewest games conceded in his victory.

Group Summary:
A shame we didn't see more matches played, but at least the round came to an exciting conclusion with Michael and Will neck and neck in the race for top spot. With their head to head unfinished we need to do some calculations....and thanks to fewer sets conceded it is Michael that adds another title to his ever growing collection.

This group was hit by a couple of no shows and unfortunately didn't fully get going. However Christopher made the most the round, chalking up three victories and scheduling well to cross the line in first. Ruslan matched Christopher's win tally and won their head to head but has to settle for silver as he missed out on those all important bonus points.

Group Summary:
It was a close call for top spot with Richard, David and Nicky all tying on eight points. Titles can be decided by the smallest of margins and had a couple of points gone the other way in Richard's marathon match with Terry we could be talking about a different story. But as it is Richard deservedly becomes the new champ thanks to his hard fought wins over David and Nicky in their head to heads. David takes the runner up spot with his victory over Nicky. Well played everyone!

Player Comments:
- "A great match which despite the scoreline produced some fantastic little battles. During one of these Toby pulled off one of the best shots I have seen in these leagues. After an initial flurry of shots I tried to kill the encounter with a cross court volley. Toby managed to not only deflect the shot while going in the opposite direction , but killed it stone dead on my side. Seriously, it was like watching Crouching Tiger , Hidden Dragon stuff ....! My Kung - fu was stronger on the night but hats off to Toby. Nice. " -- Terry

Group Summary:
Edward and David both had excellent rounds to record five fantastic wins and bonus points to make it a tight tussle for top spot. Despite David winning the two's see saw head to head, the set Edward won, together with the one more match played, proved decisive as he gained the extra point he needed to leapfrog David into the lead.

The thousands who turned up were not disappointed as winners rained down on court more regularly than the Southern Trains that sped past on the adjacent railway line. Having already played in on session that day James was having to dig deep into his seemingly endless supply of energy, grit and determination, just like a Duracell Bunny, and pulled off some high class tennis. The crowd roared for more and they were treated to a high class second set of aces and a game that went to what felt like a 16th Deuce. It showed such quality that manufacturers have designed T-shirts to be worn by the adoring fans, £15RRP!" -- Edward

Player Comments:
- "Brixton's busy and bustling High Street could be heard in the background for this much anticipated encounter. The steel drums playing out a melody only matched by the pattern of the players rhythmic shots on the court. Victor has a forehand that is as graceful as a gazelle galloping across the plains, however, the top-spin that he exacts on the ball can, just like the gazelle, kick you in the face if you're not careful. The first set went deep with both players drawing on reserves that they didn't know they had. Luckily my mid-winter training holiday at altitude seems to have worked. The fans provided a rowdy backdrop to this encounter and seemed to be enjoying their bank-holiday weekend by drinking in the first class tennis on show." -- Edward

In the build up to the game major news outlets were highlighting Andy's impressive array of strokes that see him as one of the most electrifying players of the modern game. Drawing crowds come easy to this man! The spits of rain, ever-present during a British Tennising summer left the court a bit spicy in the words of Greg Rusedski who was covering the match for EuroSport TV. No matter, these two players delved deep into their arsenal to pull out some truly remarkable shots to entertain the partisan crowd.

Tickets for this game were sold out in minutes prompting the organisers to lay on a Fans' Park and boy did they turn up in their thousands! Such excitement and hysteria around this Group 12 match has led to SKY and BT fighting it out to secure the rights to broadcast future matches. More on this news to follow.

- "There was a carnival atmosphere at Clapham Common tonight. This may have been due to the fact that a carnival was taking place next to the tennis court, however, the tennis fans of South London still turned out in droves to witness a compelling and masterful display of tennis. Facing Matt's serve is like trying to hold onto a mechanical bull, with such pace and precision on the ball it gets you in a bit of a helter-skelter and the first set became a roller-coaster. The fans were left screaming for more and the second set, just like a go on the dodgems, duly delivered. Winners rained down on a more regular basis than the revolution of a carousel and the fans were left awestruck by the class on show. Great game, well played." -- Edward

John kept up with Michael on the scoreboard with a combination of good scheduling and strong tennis but comes home in a second after Michael stepped it up a gear to prevail in their head to head. Hats off to Bliss and Matthew for all their efforts in the marathon match of the round.

Great stuff from this group to get lots of matches played and bonus points earned. A special mention to George for getting all of his matches in. Frontrunner Chris proved to be unstoppable, powering past his opponents to end the round with a win from each of his five encounters. Michael was made to work hard on the court and deserves great credit for digging deep to emerge victorious from four very close contests to finish in second.

Group Summary:
There was nothing to choose between Tariq and Arizechi as they tied on twelve points in the race for the group crown. Their head to head therefore comes into play and this was worthy of being a title decider. A "great match" between the two ended with 6-3, 4-6, 5-4 victory in Tariq's favour and therefore the congratulations go to Tariq and commiserations Arizechi. Thanks for all your efforts in getting nearly every match played.

Group Summary:
James showed the importance of getting matches set up and played, even if you can't win them all. Rupert won his close contest with James and finished with an unbeaten record, but James played two more matches and notched up a victory in one of these to take his tally to five and clinch pole position. Rupert does take home the silver just ahead of Laura in third.
