Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable game with Ade. After being blown away in the first set via a combination of Ade’s great shots & my many errors I managed to drag Ade down by changing tactic to just keeping the ball in play given i couldn’t find a decent ground stoke. Managed to come back in the 3rd set after saving 2 match points at 3-5 down. Very lucky to get the win. " -- John

Player Comments:
- "Ade and I had another good match, we know each others game well. We had to deal with some rather terrible weather (crazy wind and 2 showers that stopped play for a while) of which we soldered on. Ade as usual was moving well, I managed to keep my level high towards the backend of both sets to get the win. Thanks for a great game Ade." -- Colin

Player Comments:
- "Another tight encounter with Aaron. Lots of good tennis here. Aaron kept out-drop shotting my drop shots. Every time we play it comes down to a couple of points here and there usually in a tie-break, often with the time running out. They were locking up when we were at 6-6 in the deciding tie-break. A rushed finish and I got lucky on this occasion to win the final point. " -- Michael

Reveal CommentAaron Malcolm bt Stuart Lussi (Jul 22) 6-0, 4-6, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "A topsy turvy match!! For a set and a half everything was going my way and I moved to a 6-0, 3-0 lead. Then it all swung the other way. Stuart started to play very strong tennis, at one point I think he won 4 games to love in a row!! Then it swung back in the third, the misty rain certainly changed the dynamic and it became a game of survival. So basically I hung on at craiglockhart centre court to record a win but it could have easily gone the other way. Thanks again to Stuart for the match. I'm sure it will be another challenging match in the future." -- Aaron

Player Comments:
- "What a fight this was! The rain tested both of us physically and mentally, after getting obliterated during the first set I started moving better and adapting my strategy to the weather conditions. Titus saved various set points on the second set and forced a tie break, which I managed to win by a very fine margine. The match tie break decided it all, it could have gone either way but somehow I pulled it off. Looking forward to a rematch! Thanks " -- Stefano

Player Comments:
- "Sweat inducing indoor match played over two sessions at the springy courts at Excite Bathgate (great for dodgy knees). Sean and I always have close matches played with good intensity and spirit. Part 1 took place 22/06 and the finale 29/06. Sean and I traded a very tight set which we both thought would be decided by tie break, but Sean got the crucial break. The second set seemed to be going the same way but in the big points Sean brough his A game, stepping in and hitting some terrific winners. Cheers for the game, see you next round" -- Alexander
