Group Summary:
It was tight at the top with front runners Alvaro and Lien finishing tied on ten points apiece. On the court Alvaro stepped it up a gear, winning all five of his matches, including his epic head to head with Lien, to take pole position. A shout out to Orok who was the only player to get all his matches in - a great effort

- "A seemingly nice and sunny morning at the ever lovely Kings Hall Road. There were 3 participants in this match - Nathan, me, and the dastardly wind. We both struggled with our serves and tried our best to adjust to the ball being blown long at one end and short at the other, and sometimes sideways! Still, we managed to have some great rallies with Nathan displaying some impressive net skills. Well played, Nathan." -- Lien
