Player Comments:
- "Played in warm sunshine, the first set was quite even , with Nick having lots of game points in 3 games, Nick got more consistant in the second set having been out injured the last 2 rounds, lovely friendly match as always thanks Nick" -- Charles
Player Comments:
- "Xin started well in this match and was first out of the blocks. He maintained his form and pulled off a great win in the first. A bit more balanced in the second with Avery taking a 4-1 lead only to be pegged back by Xin. A close match which could have gone any way...both players were just happy to be back on court.." -- Avery
Player Comments:
- "A very pleasant first match back against a very good opponent who was quick and hit winning forehands who had game points in the first set. second set was tighter but I held on at 2.4 from 0.40 to make the match safe, thanks Philippa" -- Charles

Player Comments:
- "A great match between me and Annie, played on a sunny morning at ccp. There wasnt much to choose between us, and the match was decided on a few winners. Thanks for the game Annie. " -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable afternoon's tennis. The tone was set from the first game as I got a very fortunate net cord on just the second point, although Fiona did win the game. Later, 2 miss hit returns in a row from me resulted in winners. Fiona did claim a net cord of her own, but it's fair to say luck was not on her side here. The score doesn't quite tell the story of a match containing multiple close games with plenty of deuces. Fiona hit some really good winners throughout the match too. Thanks for the match Fiona." -- David
Player Comments:
- "Great to get back on court and as usuall between me and Mark it was very tough close game. Mark started much stronger and ran away with the 1st set as I struggled to get going. 2nd set was much more like it with many deuce games and good rallies worthy of some video footage 😁, I managed to take the set in the end. Deciding set started with me going into a 5-1 lead before Mark upping his game to come back to 5-4, I managed to take the next very tense game with many deuces yet again. Great game as always thanks Mark" -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Perfect conditions at ccp. This was a closely fought contest that was decided on a few winners , as the scoreline suggests. Thanks for the game Fiona. " -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "We started with 5 straight service breaks. I led 3-2 before finally holding in game 6. It would prove to be just enough, although the final game of the set lasted as long as the rest of the games together with multiple deuces on my serve before I managed to close it out. The second set saw more close games, but I was able to find a bit more consistency and take a hard earned win. Thanks for the match Rafa. " -- David
