Player Comments:
- "What a fantastic and nail biting match. We were neck and neck the whole way as really had to cling on and remained focus to get the result. James played brilliantly and had a lot of fantastic winners and also played very well at the net but I think I got lucky in the end at the right time to edge forward. Always great fun thanks again James ! " -- Zul

Player Comments:
- "James started very slowly in the 1st set and made a lot of errors and I won easily 6-0. In the second set, he was like a different player. He played very aggressively, especially on his serve, while maintaining consistency. He broke me twice early in the 2nd set and nearly went 4-1 up, but I got it back to 3-2. Then it continued with serve and he won 6-4, having won a couple of long games on his serve. I took an early lead in the final set, going 5-1 up after winning 2 marathon games on his serve. Then despite me coming up with good first serves, he broke back & then held serve. There was then pressure on me to hold serve at 5-3 up, which thankfully I did. A great match thanks James and good luck with your remaining matches. " -- Rory
Player Comments:
- "A nice friendly match. Peter won his first service game of the match after a couple of errors from me and culminating in a long rally, which he won. He was perhaps a bit unlucky not to win any further games, as there were a few games that went to deuce. Good luck in your remaining matches Peter. " -- Rory
Player Comments:
- "An up & down match with some drama. In the 1st set, Lee took an early lead going 4-2 up but I clawed it back to win 6-4. Lee went 3-0 up in the 2nd set after 3 close games. However at the end of the 3rd game my string broke. Lee kindly offered me his spare racket so we carried on. He proceeded to win the next 3 games easily winning the set 6-0. I then asked him would he mind if I tried to get my other racket, which was with restringer Garry Bugler. Lee very graciously agreed. I called Garry who kindly agreed to drop the racket over in 15 minutes which he did & Lee very patiently waited. We had to change court, as the original booking ran out. We carried on & again Lee forged ahead leading 5-3, but I hung in & won 7-5. Unlucky Lee & thanks. " -- Rory
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "A really enjoyable and warm evening for tennis with Balazs with probably the longest game I’ve ever played on game 2 in the first set - it must have gone on for 15 minutes! We had lots of tight games and I was just a bit more consistent on the night. Thanks Balazs and good luck in the rest of your games! " -- Michael
Player Comments:
- "It was a sunny late afternoon on Sunday, really enjoyable match with Neal, he was very consistent. We had some nice rallys, many times was deuce. He was better in the 2nd set and a 3rd was close until 3-3. Good luck for the next one." -- BALAZS
Player Comments:
- "It was lovely to meet Thais and we had a really great game - lots of good rallies but I was just that bit more consistent. Good luck in the rest of your games and hopefully play again soon!" -- Michael
Player Comments:
- "For me it was the most enjoyable game of tennis I had from my return on the pitch ( after 8 mounts of break) Michael he played admirable and extremely fair play and in the spirit of the game. He was up in both sets 2-0 and 3-1 but I had a great day and served really well and find the lines with some powerful forhands and there I believe I made the difference. Almost every game was a fight and very closed. Thank you very much Michael for the game and looking forward to meet you again!" -- Catalin

We both found our form in the second set which led to a tiebreak and ultimately a deciding set in which I took an early led before Andy reeled in the score and saved the first match point with a fantastic spinning drop shot.
