Collapse AllCrawley Singles - Round 15 | Thursday 19 September 2019 to Wednesday 13 November 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 16 October 2019)
Thirty matches were played this round and if that doesn't quite make the record books for the percentage of possible matches completed, the great tennis meant anything missing in quantity was more than made up in quality!
Group Summary:
Defending champ Daniele played only one match this round and those who came 2nd, 3rd and 4th last time (Vishal, Zac and Catalin) all moved up one spot to come 1st, 2nd and 3rd! Some very close matches too, particularly for Catalin whose match of the group v Aitor sounds like a classic!

Group Summary:
Julia and Mike are both working their way up this group, finishing 2nd and 3rd, compared with 3rd and 4th last time but this was Pawel's round! He won 4 of his 6 matches and was the only player to get his bonus points. Julia and Mike both won their head to heads against the champ, though, so get the bragging rights. Be good to see who takes the top spot next time!

Group Summary:
It was interesting to see Peter give two such close matches to the first and second placed players (Graeme and James) and a shame for him that his final position (4th) didn't reflect this. But that's the way it goes sometimes and Graeme and James played more matches and got their bonus points. They finished neck and neck on points but their own 3 setter, with both forcing the other into mistakes finished with Graeme the winner of match and the group, and two very tired players at the end. Congratulations!
