After somehow managing to come back from a break down to win the first set, Craig began to play some exceptional tennis to take the second set 6-3. I felt that a few sure winners came back with interest and at some Nadal-esque angles. Luckily I managed to serve well in the final set and get a lucky break early on. I'm looking forward to our next meeting already. " -- Edward

Player Comments:
- "Epic match with Ed played over two attempts at Queen's Park there was really nothing in it and after I won the first set Ed came back well to take the second and force a decider which we had to come back for. Ed got an early break but I broke back quickly and we both held serve despite a lot of deuce games but at 4-4 I probably had my best serve game and then I was able to break to see it out. Ed went for a lot of shots in the deciding set that were just inches out while I was more defensive and the cautious approach paid off for me. Thanks for a very close game Ed and look forward to our next match." -- Kevin

Anji started really strongly and broke my first service game to go 2-0 up but fortunately I managed to get the break back and held my serve after that. Anji played many impressive winners but unfortunately had a few unforced errors as well. Sometimes the toughest matches are against ourselves! I’m sure every one of us has felt that way! :) Thanks for the match Anji, and good luck in the rest of the round. Looking forward to playing at Kelvingrove next time. :)" -- Craig

Overall the main difference was just recent match experience as Benjamin is coming back to tennis after many years away. Like I told him, he has the shots but just needs to regain the confidence to use them more often. I don't think it'll take too long either! Thanks for the match!" -- Craig

In the first set he hit some regular lovely whipped inside out winners which kept the scoreboard ticking over in his favour. I managed to steady the ship a wee bit and unexpectedly edged the second. No time for set 3! " -- Blair
- "Final set played on my home turf at Newlands. We were both a little tentative which probably worked more in my favour as Craig admitted afterwards he wasn't being as aggressive. Still a proper workout and as if to prove his point we played a friendly set in which he returned to his normal game and walked it 6-2. Thanks for coming over Craig. Great hit," -- Blair

Lots of long rallies, with Mick hitting plenty of deep shots and precise angles, so I had to defend a lot and try to keep really patient (which is not my normal way!) It was great to chat throughout about Micks previous times in the league and our enjoyment of tennis in general. I think the difference was probably in serving, unfortunately Mick's serve wasn't as consistent as he wanted it to be, which I'm kind of glad about because when he connected he really connected.

Player Comments:
- "The actual score here was 9 games to 7 in the final set. We didn't play a tie break however the form doesn't allow this to be input. This was a really tough match with John. Just couldn't get to grips with his serve in the first set and was causing me all sorts of bother. I served better in the second set but 3rd set could have gone either way and I was fortunate to edge it. John is such a consistent server - power and spin on his first and a killer kick on the second. Thanks for the match John and best of luck with the remainder of the round." -- Grant

Every game had a least one deuce and is probably the longest set I've ever played. I think the second set your level dropped a little and you gave me more points than you had been. Some of the points were really well contested though and I'd have enjoyed watching them as a spectator. Really enjoyed it. All the best with your other games" -- John

One of the longest games I’ve ever played came next with chances on both sides. In the end I held to take it to a tie break. Managed to get a few early points and held out to take the set. The set lasted well over an hour. The second set holding serve was the key, both of us were feeling the effects of the first set. Holding my own serve and getting a couple of early breaks won it for me today. It was a very close match with some great rallies and long tiring games. " -- Robert
