Group Summary:
A very convincing win for Paul who tops the group with 7 wins out of 7 and successfully defends his title. Runner up Calum was one of those making it difficult and ensuring their match went the distance - 'great tennis' said Paul. (Calum tied on points with James but won the head to head to take second place). A great group with a high percentage of matches played and all but two players getting their bonus points.

Group Summary:
A great round for Jun who wins the group in his debut round with 5 straight wins and promotion next time! Good to see Horace back after he had to withdraw with an injury last time. He returns on fine form, finishing as runner up in a well contested group with a high percentage of matches played. Well played all.

Group Summary:
Viktor and Manfred finish in gold and silver positions just as they did last time. But they reversed the score in their head to head. last time Manfred won 4-6, 6-2, 6-4; this time it was Viktor's turn and he won 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (7-5). They finished with just one point in it and we think it's fair to say they are very well matched! Good to welcome Tolga to the league and well done on getting your bonus points in your first round.

Group Summary:
All credit to Raphael who played by far the most matches (6) and was the only player to get his bonus points. He is rewarded with the group title - well played. Runner up Andrew and Angus both have the satisfaction of beating the champ, but didn't manage enough matches this time to become serious contenders for the title. Maybe next time!

Group Summary:
Almost every match was played in this very committed group and judging by the match reports, a great deal of fun was had. Among the comments: Great deuces and volleys by Margot! Qizhe's drop shots are the best! and Diomid and Qizhe played in zero degrees! At the final count, newcomer Chiara topped the group, finishing just two points ahead of Diomid. Well played all!
