- "Great match! Very close first set, could've gone either way. Sorry that you were not able to be at 100% in the second. " -- Noah
Reveal CommentAaron Malcolm bt Alex Onyeador (Mar 16) 4-2, 4-0
Player Comments:
- "Closer game than the score suggests. In both sets there were quite a few deuce games, which luckily fell to me. Unfortunately Alex's knee started to give him more trouble in the second set but still hit some great shots and serving was good too. Thanks again Alex, really enjoyable to play you again." -- Aaron
Reveal CommentAaron Malcolm bt Alex Hagon (Mar 15) 4-0, 4-3 (7-3)
Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable match. We started without much warm up which seemed to suit me better. Once Alex had warmed up it was much closer. Alex went 2-0 up in the second set so I was just happy to claw it back for a tie break. Thanks again Alex." -- Aaron

Player Comments:
- "Thanks to John for a good game. The scoreline doesn't really reflect the play as it was much closer than that. Some good serving from John but thankfully my blocking and returns were on form today. Thoroughly enjoyed the play, thanks again John." -- Aaron
Reveal CommentAaron Malcolm bt Michael Spafford (Mar 11) 4-2, 4-3 (12-10)
Player Comments:
- "Wow! what a match. A very close affair all the way through. The first set was decided by one break of serve, most games going to deuce. The second set, I was 1-3 down and luckily clawed it back to force a tie break. We were running out of time but persevered. At 6-3 up in the tie break I was in a good position but Michael pulled it back brilliantly with some awesome ground strokes and great angles. It was back and forward and eventually I sneaked it 12-10. The whole match was played in great spirit, a special thanks to Michael for willing to play through the time limit to complete the second set. I'm sure another day the result would have been very different. Phew!!" -- Aaron
Reveal CommentChris Macadam bt Michael Spafford (Mar 6) 7-5, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Really tough match under heavy conditions. Neither of us held serve for a good majority of the first set so it settled into a bit of a pattern for a while. Michael managed to hold and break at the start of the second set which really piled on the pressure but I managed to stem the tide and get myself back into it." -- Chris

Reveal CommentChris Macadam bt John Heaney (Feb 26) 6-1, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "Hard to gauge the match quality tbh. Our play styles somewhat restricted the rallies length which gave it a very stop start feel, with most points being decided on serve. I’m sure next time we’ll have got used to each other’s patterns so we can stretch out the points more." -- Chris

Reveal CommentChris Macadam bt Aaron Malcolm (Feb 17) 6-1, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Tight match, really exhausting rallies. Built myself a good lead in the first set, but Aaron built back some very close games with extended rallies and really tough slicing. Second set started still exhausted from the end of the first set and went to a 0-2 deficit, but managed to turn it around." -- Chris

Reveal CommentChris Macadam bt Alex Hagon (Feb 11) 6-2, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Match played on a cold night, movement was a bit hampered as I was struggling with a small hamstring tear. Thankfully the occasional bluster would nullify that. Alex played some truly legendary shots including one serve return from practically inside a hedge, which nearly came round the net for a clean winner." -- Chris

- "Really enjoyable game. This was Katie's first competitive game having taken up tennis only a little while ago. You can see that she is only going to improve and is really keen to learn and get better. Well done Katie, look forward to some more tennis in the future." -- Aaron
Reveal CommentMichael Spafford bt Alex Onyeador (Feb 11) 4-2, 4-2
Player Comments:
- "Another fun encounter with Alex. Close first set with games going with serve until I got the one break. Second set I was up 3-0 but Alex fought back with some huge back-against-the-wall shots to take the next two games. In the end it took quite a few match points to finally close out the match. Good one, as always. " -- Michael

Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the game Noah, great to meet you. Quite a tipsy-turvy game that could have gone either way. Not the best weather for it, with wind, rain and even snow at the start and the second half of the second set! Feel fortunate to have come away with the win." -- Pedrog

Player Comments:
- "Very tight first set which took up most of our allotted time. I was very surprised and lucky to get the match completed before we got kicked off. Good to be back on the court again for a new season. Thanks for the match John. (((PS 1st set score was 5-3 but apparently that doesn’t meet the criteria for a Fast4 or Long Form match. We did NOT play a tie-break at 3-3)))" -- Michael

- "Thanks for the game today Aaron. Considering we were both a bit rusty I think we did pretty well out in the cold! I was lucky to get away with the first set where we were neck and neck all the way. If that had gone your way it could have put a very different picture to how the match played out." -- Pedrog
