Player Comments:
- "Sonja is a fine athlete and in great shape. She needs to find a way to express those natural attributes on the tennis court. She has an unusual two-handed style which could prove awkward for opponents if developed. She would benefit greatly from some coaching or some play with an empathetic partner who can encourage her to assert herself on the tennis court more. In particular, she should learn to move more in order to make herself comfortable rather than the stand and deliver style she seems to have adopted. As with everyone, her service could be improved tremendously with some coaching. Well played Sonja and better luck next time!" -- Biswadip
Player Comments:
- "Shaz Muradova was a woman in a hurry. She ran to the venue of this match, completed a straight sets demolition of her opponent and followed that up by running to the venue of her next match In the Regents Park league. Shaz put on a clinical demonstration of speed and power to overwhelm her game opponent. There were some good rallies as both players strived for advantage but the result was never in doubt. Well played Shaz!" -- Biswadip
Player Comments:
- "The score is no reflection of the nature of a match that was closer than it may seem. Matthew is a strong player with an outstanding serve and a very consistent forehand. " -- Nik
Player Comments:
- "Nik is a powerful player and it is hard to believe he is ranked a lowly 8+ in Holland where he is domiciled! He has excellent fitness, hits deep topspin off both wings and can serve fast and flat or loopy high-kickers. It remains to be seen if anyone is good enough to challenge him in this group. He is also a really nice guy so it is an enjoyable experience to play him." -- Biswadip
