It was a windy day and West End Rec court is not in a good state, the court is pretty uneven and I even took a tumble on a patch of mud at the back of the court. Luckily for me I think I was able to cope better and Kai struggled to find rhythm. There were some good competitive games and it was an enjoyable match, thanks Kai!"  -- Thomas

Thankfully Thomas was also a bit inconsistent which helped me a bit. He is lighting quick around the court and makes you win the point few times over! Thanks Tom for the game."  -- Siddhartha

Player Comments:

  • "A match of 2 sets this one!! I luckily enough, raced away with the first set with everything coming off the racket perfect. Come the second though, Matthew has found his range, was serving very well, hitting great passing shots and I couldn't find a winner for love nor money!! Matthew went 4-1 quickly and I had to dig deep to claw the set back to a tie breaker, which luckily went my way. Thank you for the game and the invite down to Esher to play under the lights. Good luck with the remaining games."  -- David

Player Comments:

  • "Firstly what a lovely facility the new All England Tennis Club Community Centre is, and about time that there is public access indoor courts!!! Back to the match. A very topsee tervy first set that only had 3 holds of serve (guess we were both not use to the perfect conditions!!). Vadim though played very well and raced to a 4-1 lead and then held out to take the first. Then my serve and ground strokes started to fire and Vadim consistency dropped and allowed me to take the second quickly. The third was a tight start, but once I got ahead I was able to hold out. Great match, thank you Vadim and great suggestion playing there."  -- David

I took a strong lead in the second set and had match points at 5-2, but I was not able to convert and David won the next two games which put my final service game under significant pressure. A fun and tight match that was swung on account of a few unforced errors."  -- Paul

Player Comments:

  • "Top match. So so even that most games went to deuce and each set was approx. 1 hour long! I started like a rocket with good serves and a few strong overheads to go 4-1 up before Ben really settled into it and played near perfect tennis for a little bit, taking 5 games in a row to win the set 6-4. The second set was a bit bonkers with 11 breaks of serve in a row (and we were both serving okay!). I snuck a hold at the end to close out the set. Final set was again close but I was fortunate to get a couple of games clear midway through and just about hang on. Last game went to deuce a few times though (naturally). Cheers Ben, great opponent. Hope to play again soon. Good luck in your next match. "  -- Tom

I’m glad to have avenged that loss today in what was a very competitive, enjoyable match, played in great spirits with fantastic sportsmanship throughout. I took a quick lead in the first set with some aggressive net play, the second set Paul upped his level significantly and hit some impeccable lobs and forehands down the line. I played higher percentage tennis and cut out some of the unforced errors in the third and managed to close it out. As with any great tennis match the momentum ebbed and flowed with both of us having moments on top so I’m glad to have got the win. I look forward to playing on the clay next time Paul. "  -- Ben

Player Comments:

  • "Beautiful late summer’s evening for tennis. David took a commanding 3-0 lead in the first set with some great passing shots and use of the slice. Took me a while to get the hang of his leftie serve as well. I held after the early break but couldn’t get one back until 5-3 when I scraped it. Only to immediately lose my serve in the next game and David to close out the set 6-4. Thankfully I’d built a little momentum by that point and shaken off some early nerves to comfortably win the second set. Third set was a tighter affair but I did get the early break in the first game which carried me through for a 6-3 win. Some top shotmaking from both of us today which led to a very enjoyable, competitive match. Good luck with the rest of the league."  -- Ben

Player Comments:

  • "A very enjoyable and evenly contested match. Fortunately I was just able to edge it with Nadeem having taken early leads in both sets. Nadeem was a very tough opponent, with some great passing shots and some wicked spin and variety on his serves. However, I managed to serve well and consistently, which proved to be the key to the victory. Thanks for a great match Nadeem and good luck for your remaining contest. Hope to play you again soon."  -- Dotun

  • "Very close game. We had very nice rallies and both of us had good winner shots. In the firs set we had two games that lasted forever. And the second one was very close, we both broke the opponent service 7 of 12 games, so anyone could have won the set really. Looking forward to play you again Dotum. Good luck with the rest of the games. "  -- Javier

And third one was very close, I managed to break William's service twice and with a lot of effort and close scores in the last games I managed to keep mine. A lot of fun William, hope we play again soon! "  -- Javier

Player Comments:

  • "Dotun and I played our match on quite a hot day so I was lucky it didn’t go to three sets. His serve let him down today, but once he got in his stride, he was hitting great shots. I was getting nervous when he broke me in the opening game of the first set (and almost did the same in the third game) but I somehow managed to hold on and win. Lovely to meet you Dotun, and hope we get to play again soon!"  -- Siobhan

Dotun hit a high number of fabulous aces, even on second serve and his serve and volley game created some exciting and fun rallies. It was really great to meet you Dotun and best of luck with your other games!"  -- William

Player Comments:

  • "This is the first time I have joined a league and my very first game. Mirko and I were very evenly matched. I stormed ahead 5-2 and then Mirko made a come-back and took the set to a tie-break. I eventually won 7-3 on the tie break. We started the 2nd set but had to stop at 2-2 due to it getting dark. To be continued..."  -- Nadeem
  • "We finished our match today. The second set was very evenly matched. A few school boy errors allowed Mirko to break my serve and take the second set. In the third set, I was up against some very strong serves from Mirko. Despite acing me at least twice and winning a number of points with some very slick slicing I was able to keep my cool and win the match. Thanks for the great game. I look forward to playing you again. Good luck in your other matches." -- Nadeem

  • "Hi Javier, thanks for the great friendly game. We had some really good rallies on a lovely re-surfaced tennis court with new nets. The first set we were fairly evenly matched and was hard fought. But sadly the second set didn't go my way and was over fairly quickly. I managed to get some good shots in but you were the better player. Well done! We had plenty of time left on our court booking so we played a friendly unofficial 3rd set which I managed to play much better. Hopefully we will find time to play each other again. Good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Nadeem

  • "This was a great match. We both fought hard for the first set with lots of breaks of serve but I managed to pull through in the end. We were both pretty tired afterwards and the second set luckily went my way. Thanks for playing Nadeem, look forward to a rematch some time soon!"  -- Siobhan
  • "Hi Siobhan, thanks for a great game. The first set was quite evenly matched. We had some great rallies. I remember one of the games had a 12 point deuce. We kept battling it out with no-one quite able to win the advantage point. I think the 1st set took us over an hour to play. At the beginning of the second set the sun decided to poke it's head out from behind the clouds blinding me each time it was my service. Combined with Siobhan's precision placing of the ball, she had me running all over the court and quickly finished me off. Well done! I really enjoyed the game and hope that we can play again sometime." -- Nadeem

Reveal CommentWilliam Essex bt Siobhan Hennessy (Aug 22) 7-6 (7-4), 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "This was a fun match on a damp slippery court. I started off well taking the 1st 4 games but Siobhan came back strongly and began hitting winners eventually getting to a 6-5 lead in the set while errors had crept into my game. In the tie break I was lucky to be starting off on the less slippery side of the court without the sun in my eyes. The start of the second set saw some exciting rallies, running from side to side, one of which left me flat on my back following quite a hard fall but luckily ungrazed and unhurt. I nearly repeated the trick a few rallies later! Eventually I took the 2nd set but was lucky on a number of shots catching the net and just landing the right side.Lovely to meet you Siobhan- good luck for your remaining matches!"  -- William
