Reveal CommentAlex Onyeador bt Shona Scott (Dec 11) 4-1, 4-0

Player Comments:

  • "Enjoyed a chilly evening game with Shona at CL on Sunday evening. Definitely glad we chose indoors as outdoors temps were at -3c. Shona only recently returned to tennis in May after a multi year break. So she has a bit of ring rust. In the warm up though I saw flashes of brilliance and they came out during the first set too. I knuckled down for the second set and managed to hold my serve consistently. We then played a 3rd set for fun and Shona unleashed the beast, hitting numerous clean winners and a sprinkling of aces. She comfortably beat me 4-1. Thanks for the game Shona and be sure to unleash those forehands right from the start :)"  -- Alex

Player Comments:

Second set Alex started firing and took the lead 3-2 and was serving for the second set. Again somehow I managed to take the set to a tie break. My own serve seemed to be working today unlike my previous two games. Alex is a top bloke and was very warm and welcoming of me. "  -- Simon

Reveal CommentMichael Spafford bt Ian Maxwell (Nov 13) 3-6, 6-0, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "This match was played over two sessions. I was 2-0 up in the second set, but down a set, when the first session ended. In between I had tickets to see some of the pros at the BJK Cup in Glasgow. Picked up a few tips and a new mindset and brought that into the playoff. My more aggressive play paid dividends to conclude the second set but Ian fought back and a couple of times went up a break in the third. It was anyone’s game but I kept plugging away and finally got over the line. It ended another highly enjoyable matchup with Ian. "  -- Michael
