Player Comments:

  • "A very evenly matched game indoors at Newlands. We both won 14 games which shows how close it was. John's net play and drop shots caused me problems. John played exactly the right stuff in the second set and I couldn't match him. I had slightly more luck at key moments in the first and third. Probably worth recording that I served first in all 3 sets and this helped me get over the line in 2 out of 3 sets. Good luck in the rest of your games."  -- Alasdair

Player Comments:

  • "A pleasure to host Endijs at Langside. Endijs was a deserved winner, raising his game in the second set after a close and competitive first and executing a series of excellent passing shots. One superb lob to save break point in the first set when the match was tight sticks out as the shot of the day. Well played and good luck in the remaining games. Stuart"  -- Stuart

Ashe was a gracious host, loved a wee slice and I was only sad about the fact that I didn't get a pizza and chips afterwards! Great club, though I'm still not keen on fake clay. After the first set, I thought I had her easily, but a few mistakes by me and some great shots from her put Ashe ahead and winning the second set. Third set, she game back from 4 1 to 4 4, but unluckily failed to keep that momentum and I clinched it in the end. Thanks for the game, good luck with fitting some of the others in before it finishes :-)"  -- Richard
