He found his aim in the second,which was much closer and it was a question of blocking the serve back hanging on it the rallies, and taking the net when the opportunity presented itself in order to keep him guessing. No doubt on form he would give most players a hard time several divisions higher. "  -- Duncan

The first insult was when I phoned him at 21:55 last night when I realised I'd told him the court was booked for 7am rather than 7pm. He was really gracious.

Reveal CommentDuncan Stroud bt Andre McClean (Apr 26) 3-6, 7-6 (9-7), 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "Like a game of football - a match of two halves so far with all to play for in the third set. Andre to serve. "  -- Duncan
  • "The third set was played at 9pm under the floodlights in Finsbury Park which made for an atmospheric setting for the match. It was high quality tennis from the start and maybe the pressure got to us both as neither could hold serve until 4-4. I then broke serve again and finally managed to hold for the set 6-4. Some great tennis and it was some scrambled shots and a couple of outrageous miss hits from me that made the difference." -- Duncan
Reveal CommentAlex Hicks bt Dominik Vogt (Apr 25) 6-4, 6-2

Player Comments:

Player Comments:

  • "This may be group seven in the league but the matches and the level of opponents is as tough as it has ever been for me. Yet another tight match with everything finely poised at a set a piece. And what a great opponent Sameer is - he forced me to dig deep to stay in contention. Duncan to serve in the third set "  -- Duncan
  • "Great tactical battle with Duncan where we both tried to wrestle the initiative in the match and in rallies. Duncan mounted a great comeback in the second set from 2-5 saving two match points in the process. He saved another three match points in the third set but I was able to hold my nerve and close it out. Pleasure playing with Duncan and hope we can play again soon." -- Sameer

Perhaps my tennis was lifted somewhat by playing at Parliament Fields (one of my favourite places to play tennis) on a lovely sunny spring evening. A very enjoyable match. Well played Alex.

Player Comments:

  • "The first point set the tone for the rest of the match... a lovely one handed backhand passing shot by Andre looking a bit like Tsitsipas :-) Great rallies throughout, some top shot making, touch, net play by both of us (if I say so myself!). Game was much more competitive than the score line suggests I was perhaps the more consistent player today - as Andre put it very few freebies. Pleasure playing and look forward to round 2 soon!

Player Comments:

  • "As I cycled to Finsbury Park in the rain, I have to admit I honestly didn’t fancy it... but after a quick warmup with Dan it was apparent we were gonna be in for a long ride... strap in. With sideways rain, heavy balls, and unpredictable gusts of wind, it wasnt the prettiest of games, but we both left it all out there, chasing down balls and covering every inch of the court. After a tight first two sets that could have gone either way, we found ourselves at a third set tie break. Tense stuff and a huge sigh of relief when I pinched it. Great game Dan, look forward to playing with you soon in better conditions. "  -- Nicholas
