Player Comments:
- "Matthew got stuck in traffic and then a bizarre cut on my left hand resulting in blood everywhere meant we were off to a late start but once we got going the match had some exciting rallies, missed overheads and some top winners! As time was short we played a match tiebreak to decide which could have gone either way. Thanks for the game Matthew. " -- Sameer
Player Comments:
- "Really nice match, Sameer started very well the first set, his forehand was perfect. The second set was very competitive and I was able to stay more consistent and focused.
