This is how it works:

The league is:
- For everyone over the age of 18

Player Comments:
- "A perfect evening for tennis and peaceful Langside. The first set really tight with great difficult hanging on because of Scott's excellent serving and powerful groundstrokes. Second set continued at a high standard but luckily found a purple patch. Good luck with remaining games and well played Scott!" -- Nicholas

Match Results:
Player Comments:
- "Solid match but I faded away somewhat in the second set perhaps as a result of struggling to get a read on Kevin's very good sliced serve so I wasn't as competitive as I would have hoped to have been but a deserved win for Kevin" -- Barnaby
Player Comments:
- "Fun match with a lot of close games going to deuce. Wendy has a devastating slice and a skilful lob that had me chasing the ball all around the court. Several games decided by balls catching the edge of a line or the net tape so could have been a very different score. Look forward to a rematch some time. " -- Shaun
Player Comments:
- "Great match which was close from the outset. Weather conditions were slightly challenging at times with rain, sun, and hail! 1st set was very evenly matched with Wendy edging it before Craig took 5-0 lead in 2nd set with Wendy finding her for again and pulling back to 4-5. Third set went mostly with serve before a very long last game which went to deuce at least 10 times. Evenly matched and could have gone to either player. " -- Craig
Player Comments:
- "Really great back and forth match with big momentum swings eventually ending in a third set tie-break which Gamal took with some excellent volleying" -- Barnaby
Player Comments:
- "An epic match with both players evenly matched throughout. 1st set went with serve apart from early break against Shaun. Shaun raced to a 3-0 lead in the 2nd set with the majority of the rest going with serve, before Shaun dominated tie-break to take the set. 3rd set was tit-for-tat, with a break in serve to close out match 6-4. The match could have went either way all the way through and was a most enjoyable battle." -- Craig
Player Comments:
- "Really fun match for me - my first for 4 months so a little rusty. I think I'm just kinda glad to have a least avoided the double bagel :) Craig has a very good range of shots and a tough serve so a worthy winner" -- Barnaby

Player Comments:
- "Tough match in tricky conditions. Scott had a fantastic comeback from 5-2 down in the second set but I managed to regain momentum in the third and see out the win." -- Daniel
- "Great Match on a cold sunny day." -- Scott
Player Comments:
- "Great first set! Really close and some good shots hit from both ends! After the best part of 90 mins for set one, Second set went a bit quicker." -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Good match with Steven a few great backhand returns from him during the game. Good luck with the rest of your matches Steven " -- Mick
Player Comments:
- "Great game. Long first set which resulted in a tie break. Martin played very well. As 30 minutes were left in play, we agreed to play tie break sets resulting in the second set score, 10-5. (note: score format does not allow for both short and long formats to be recorded). " -- SCOTT
Player Comments:
- "Great game. Very even throughout. A few long games including deuce ralleys which led to competitive games. Steven has an excellent return of serve. I managed to serve well which was effective in the end. " -- SCOTT
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match with lots and close games in there. Good luck with the rest of your matches Richard" -- Mick
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable game played on a lovely sunny morning. Colin was unfortunate to take a heavy fall early on in the match which I think threw his game off a bit. If it weren't for the slip then I think the match would have been a lot closer. He certainly rattled a lot of winners past me as we rallied afterwards. " -- Daniel
Player Comments:
- "Good match with Richard and some very long rallies. Had to come from behind in first set with Richard 4-1 up at one point. We will catch up again and good to meet you. Good luck in the rest of your matches mate. Steven " -- Steven
Player Comments:
- "Close match this one I took a 4-1 lead in the first set but Daniel won 4 games in a row after that. Just managed to stay in it to take it to the tie break where I seen it out. Second set was tough as well with plenty of long rallies and tight games throughout. Good luck with the rest of your games Daniel " -- Mick
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match with Richard at Queen's Park. I got off to a flying start but he fought back well to claim the second set before I managed to find my level again in the third. " -- Daniel

Player Comments:
- "An epic 3 Hr match. After overnight snow match looked in doubt but Courts were swept and surprisingly playable with the thin layer of snow helping close lines calls .. First set was very tight and I managed to edge it before Brian murdered me 6-0 in the 2nd. It wasn’t even close. Brian was up 4-1 in 3rd set before his game dropped and I managed to get it back to 4-4. At 6-5 floodlights timed out (had also happened earlier and took 10 mins to switch back on) and we agreed to play on with light from surrounding courts. Match went to a tie break which I managed to scrape through. Great to get a match during the holidays. Good luck Brian in rest of your matches. " -- Charlie

Player Comments:
- "Really energetic and fun match with Aniket with lots of games going to deuce and the games score not reflecting a far from easy match. Good luck with the rest of the league, hope to play again. " -- Miranda
Player Comments:
- "Very enjoyable match. I got off to a good start with an early break in the first but Belinda came back with some very solid hitting and finally edged the first set. We just got started in the second playing just two games before running out of time, and never got to finish due to frozen courts after Christmas." -- Lawrence
Player Comments:
- "Another fun match with Larry with lots of running about. Glad we got a last chance to play indoors! Good luck with the rest of your matches. " -- Miranda
Player Comments:
- "First set mostly went with serve, got a crucial break to go 5-3 up and hold serve. 2and set the crucial game was at 4-2, multiple deuce points and advantage points for both of us. Great rallies throughout, particularly at the net, thanks again." -- Sam
Player Comments:
- "Thank you Aniket for a really fun and competetive match. There were some close games and great rallies. Good luck with the rest of your matches. Belinda " -- Belinda
Player Comments:
- "Really energetic match with Sam today, with lots of deuce games (as usual!) Not often you can say this in December in Glasgow, but it was almost too sunny! Good luck with the rest of your matches, pal. " -- Miranda
Player Comments:
- "Managed to get a match in before Kelvingrove closes for three weeks. Scoreline very flattering, we had some great rallies, and a lot of games going to deuce. Just one of those matches where, with the court playing quite slow and the balls a bit wet, my shots and serves were coming off very consistently and at the right moments. Thanks again, Dimitar, good luck for the rest of your matches." -- Sam
