Player Comments:
- "Going into this match it looked like it was going to be a very close match. Unfortunately though fate intervened. After 4 games, with the score 2-2, David broke 4 strings. As neither of us had a spare racquet and with the match needing to have been played by Wednesday, we were forced continue the match and inevitably I won easily. The definition of a hollow victory!" -- Ian
Player Comments:
- "Fun match! Given Tommaso only started playing a year ago I thought he did very well! It was the first time I had played at Bournville. It was nice to see all 3 courts being used for Local Tennis League Matches." -- Ian
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable game! We had time for a random doubles match afterwards ?" -- Ian
Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable match with some entertaining rallies. It was nice to meet Alex." -- Ian
Player Comments:
- "It was a close match with a number of games going to deuce. There were some great rallies and I was fortunate to win by taking advantage of Rob's errors at some key points. It was tough to close up the match as Rob saved about 4 or 5 match points in the last game. Thanks Rob for an enjoyable match and looking forward to playing with you again soon." -- Hong Giap
Player Comments:
- "Came off court feeling I was very fortunate to win as there was no doubt Inigo was the much stronger player. His all round game was far superior, however too many errors turned out to be the difference." -- Ian

- "Thank you Shereen for a good match." -- Hong Giap

Reveal CommentHong Giap Teo bt Inigo Gonzalez (Apr 9) 6-3, 4-6, [10-4]Player Comments:
- "Another epic 3-set match against Inigo with lots and lots of running. He made a strong start in the second set after losing the first. Although I was able to level it up to 4-all after trailing at 2-4, I failed to serve at 4-5 to stay in the second set. Dwindling daylight in the evening meant we played a match tiebreak as a decider, which I tried to focus on one point at a time. In the end, it was probably the difference in the number of unforce errors that decided the winner of the match tiebreak. Thank you Inigo for another enjoyable and great match!" -- Hong Giap
Player Comments:
- "A challenging match overall although the score doesn't quite reflect this. There were some great rallies with also having to face break point on my serve on a few occasions. Thank you Alex for the match and hope to play with you again soon." -- Hong Giap
Player Comments:
- "Great match!" -- Alex
