Collapse AllGlasgow Singles - Round 45 | Thursday 23 July 2020 to Wednesday 16 September 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 19 August 2020)
It was great to see friendly, competitive tennis return to the courts of Glasgow Tennis League and to welcome 10 new players to the fold alongside lots of regulars and returners! There was late summer sunshine to accompany many of your matches and collectively you managed to schedule nearly three quarters of all possible matches which is great. Hopefully we'll have an Indian summer and more sunshine for the next round... hope to see you there!
Group Summary:
This was a fairly quiet group with several matches left unscheduled, but Stephen's 4 wins were enough to see him take the group title, 3 points clear of runner up Rob. Stephen won their head to head in straight sets on a "gorgeous evening at Kelvingrove" while Rob and Florian were also rewarded with sunshine for their rescheduled match, a good competitive 2 setter. Meanwhile Andrew dug deep to save 5 set points in an incredibly close first set against Donald.

Group Summary:
It was tight at the top of Group 3 with Gary and John both earning 10 points with 3 wins out of 5 matches apiece, so Gary's win in their head to head proved decisive, a "fantastic match played in great spirit in the intense heat". John played well to fend off Scott's challenge in a close 2 setter where his more consistent serve helped him to the win, and he won by a similar scoreline against Craig who was perhaps a little rusty playing his first match post-lockdown!

- "An enjoyable hit with Zulfqar on a beautiful evening at Newlands. As we know, this was Zulfqar's first league round and by his own admission, he's probably a league or two above his current level. However, he was moving well, serving well and makes very few unforced errors. He also clearly enjoys playing which is of course the most important thing! :) So, stick at it Zulfqar and I have no doubt your game will come back to where it was before your injury lay-off. Thanks for the game. " -- Craig

Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable game with Scott on a breezy evening at Newlands. I got off to a good start winning the first 4 or 5 games before Scott got into his stride, winning a couple of games before I managed to close out the set. The start of the second set was quite different with Scott breaking my serve early on and generally battling for every point. We had some fantastic rallies, especially when I was 5-3 up and trying to close out the set. We must have gone deuce-ad a dozen or more times before Scott won to take it to 5-4. One of the most exhausting individual games I can remember playing! I honestly thought we were heading for a tie breaker where it could have gone either way. Thanks Scott - hope to play again soon." -- Craig

I felt like I played close to my best much of the time which was necessary to get the balls past Gary who covers the court really well. There were a couple of occasions when my form dipped and Gary took full advantage and put me under a lot of pressure. Not much in it overall and I really had to work hard to get over the line in the final set since Gary is a fierce competitor and just keeps coming at you! :) Thanks for the match Gary - looking forward to meeting again.

Group Summary:
A strong performance from Nadeem saw him finish 3 points clear of Mick at the top of the table, winning all 6 matches to finish the round unbeaten. It wasn't all plain sailing though as he had "an epic fight" with Gamal over 2 sessions and 2 different venues having to abandon play on the first attempt due to heavy rain. However, the group's standout match was an amazing 3 set tussle between Mick and Andy, a full 3 and a half hours of long games and rallies... well played!

Player Comments:
- "Firstly a well done to everyone in the group for getting every game completed! This final game with Craig was played with the wind doing it's share to make some shots interesting and there were some hard fought rallies throughout. The very first game had about 10 deuces (just like previous game with Sam) in it and some others were equally close, hence the 2nd set scoreline was not reflective of some of the good shots Craig achieved, incl an unusual serve win (note to self to look up). However too many errors helped me stay ahead. A rain shower interrupted set 3 and called it a day (this website doesn't allow a partial 3rd set score). League round now finally completed." -- Gamal
Reveal CommentGamal Haddou bt Howard Moshtael (Sep 6) 6-1, 7-6 (7-4)
Player Comments:
- "On a warm Sunday we both suffered from sun glare (rare occurrence in Glasgow in September) but we were finally off, after the round started about 5 weeks ago! The first set was much closer than the score would suggest and Howard got his game back on track in the second, taking us to a tie break. I managed to create a lead of about 4-1 which gave me the momentum to reach 7 and thankfully not endure a deciding set. With some less errors then Howard could have taken the set and it might have been a different outcome. We recovered afterwards with a drink in the Newlands sunshine discussing how modern journalism is so surface based in todays short attention span era (but trivial data overload), voter apathy and society's goal for harmony!" -- Gamal
Reveal CommentGamal Haddou bt Sam Dance (Sep 6) 6-4, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "If I was hoping for a gentler game my wishes were dashed after the first game took over 10 mins. Advantage, deuce it rumbled on for ages until thank god someone just won! In the following games Sam played some excellent winning shots down the line. However there were arguably too may errors (exactly, many, LOL) and a few double faults that I was grateful for. I was surprised by Sam's ability to play these very good shots given the previous games but he agreed his form was improving by getting more games in and sadly (for me) I was his last opponent in the round. It was good fortune the 2nd set didn't go to 5-5 when we were on deuce and 5-4 so hopefully we will meet again in the league Sam and have better luck. Keep safe in the NHS. " -- Gamal

A few times in the game I was made to run all around the court, much more than from other opponents, and my only hope was that Andy would make a mistake, which he seldom did. On the shorter points these generally went my way but Andy still defended solidly. In the second set we were close at 5-4 but I was able to win the game and fortunately put an end to all the running.

Player Comments:
- "A close and enjoyable match. There was nothing between us in the first set which would surely have ended in a tie break had the short format not gifted me the set at 5-4. The second set was one-way traffic as Pearce levelled the match to set up a deciding tie-break; one which swung both ways. The deciding moment probably came with me leading 8-7, and following a long and tense rally, when a cross-court backhand thankfully found the outer edge of the line. Thanks for the game, Pearce, and look forward to a longer (more exhausting) one next time. " -- Allan

Group Summary:
Daryl's 6 wins without defeat propelled him to the top of Group 6, finishing 5 points clear of Billy in runner up spot. This was otherwise a fairly low scoring group though unfortunately with several matches left unplayed and Amar as the only player to earn scheduling bonus points. There was exciting tennis in the matches played though including "some good forehands, some questionable serving and top old school volleying" in Billy's 3 set win over Amar and some "excellent lobs and drop shots" in Amar's win over Brian.

Group Summary:
This was a quiet group with only 2 players scheduling 4 or more matches and not surprisingly these 2 players topped the table with Daniel pipping William to top spot with a run of 4 wins. Daniel was just "that wee bit more consistent at key moments" in their head to head while William did well to keep a cool head in a "crazy match" against Robert which "started in the pouring rain" before turning into a "total slug fest" in a hard fought 3 setter... great tennis!

Oliver had a strong round too in third place winning 4 matches including a win over runner up Greg, however he was slower off the mark and missed out on the midway bonus points costing him second place.

- "Moved this one indoors due to high winds. This was probably to my advantage as Andrew hadn't played indoors before. Regardless, this was a game of 2 sets. In the first, Andrew's serve never got going and the score reflects that. In the second it was a different story and a much tighter set. Andrew moves around the court very quickly (long legs) and hit some great winning passing shots and running returns. I had my work cut out but managed to see it through. Thanks Andrew. I enjoyed the match." -- Greg
