Player Comments:

  • "Extremely close first set, which could have been a tie break if not for an untimely double fault by Lloyd. Tricky conditions with the gusts of wind, the sun getting ever increasingly in the eyes at one end of the court and the slippery white lines. Lloyd definitely won the shots of the match - just wish they could have been witnessed by others. A nice smashing of balls afterwards with some decent rallying. Enjoy Bath and good luck with the next matches Lloyd."  -- Stephen

Very enjoyable match and warmed up throughout the evening. Good luck Joe for the remaining matches."  -- Stephen

Good luck with the next matches."  -- Stephen

From memory we had many epic, lung bursting points three weeks ago which left this little old poor body shattered for the next couple of days. Mark has a wonderful whipping topspin crosscourt forehand, which was extremely hard to get back into court. We also had a nice hit after the official game finished today. Hope we get to play many more games in the future as even points lost were fun to play." -- Stephen
