This group had it all from "storming comebacks" to "outstanding shots" and "lots of long points" - well played everyone. John once again made top spot his own thanks to five fantastic wins, though he was "made to work hard" at times.

Reveal CommentBill Davidson bt Thomas Bond (Mar 9) 6-0, 6-3

Player Comments:

  • "Tom gave me a lot of easy points in the first set then, at the change, admitted that he had damaged in specs in a dodgy drink-related incident and so was wearing his old ones. I'm not sure how old they were, but they had Fireman Sam logos- a bit like playing with a bucket on your head. He changed to his sunspecs and next thing was up 3-1 and running me ragged. A warning to other competitors- Tom plays better when he can see. Some very long rallies in the second set and good winners from Tom. Really enjoyable"  -- Bill

Player Comments:

  • "What a great match- started in strong sun and ended overcast and very windy. Cameron and I swapped dominance throughout and neither of us could get a nose in front in a hard fought third set. Some great points played and the gusty side wind made life hard for both of us towards the end."  -- Bill

Player Comments:

  • "Brilliant match with Steve on a sunny spring morning. Hotly contested points and the momentum seemed to be swinging between us constantly. I've learned so much from our matches together in LTL and you've made me a much better player. Steve is always willing to give helpful tips to his opponents (and perhaps works against him), but is a credit to the sportsman and person that he is. Thank you Steve for another great experience, looking forward to our next encounter :)"  -- Cameron
