Player Comments:
- "Very competitive match played at a windy Sproughton Tennis Club. Marcus started well and adapted to the conditions quicker than Ty taking a 5-2 lead. Ty settled down and raced back to a 6-5 lead but Marcus won the next game and took the tie break 7-5 with some good baseline shots. The second set was very similar to the first with both players struggling with the wind. Ty began to be more consistent and took the set 6-4. In the decider Marcus took a 1-0 lead before an unfortunate event. The locals in the park kicked a football into the tennis courts. Ty tried to be clever, kicked the ball back but unfortunately caught an unaware Marcus on the side of the chin. Marcus took this very well and raced to a 3-0 lead but Ty battled back :) " -- Tyrone

Player Comments:
- "A match full off breaks played in beautiful sun by the seaside on the grass courts at Felixstowe. First set could have gone either way however at 4v4 I finally managed to consolidate a break and serve out the set. Trevor raced away with the second set with fantastically consistent baseline play which resulted in him barely making an error whereas on the other side their we're unfortunately mistakes galore with plenty of cheap points going Trevor's way. Still a set of breaks however Trevor upped his serving game took the second set with ease before bulldozing his way to a 4v1 set lead in the final set. Luckily I dug deep and managed to frequently get to the net to turn the tide of the match in my favour before final getting a hold to win 7v5" -- Matthew

Reveal CommentNick Anthony bt Matthew Last (Jun 1) 3-6, 6-1, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Nick gained his first win with a hard fought victory over Matt. It was Matt who soon took control of the first set, breaking Nick twice to take a convincing lead. Nick had no answer to Matt's range of sliced winners and was soon a set down at 6-3. In the second Nick was out of the blocks quicker, attacking Matt more and racing into a 5-0 lead. The next two games were shared and the match was levelled. Matt then held serve to love before Nick took the next three games including a break that was to prove decisive. Despite coming under pressure both players then held serve until, at 5-4 Nick was serving for the match. At 15 all Matt made a couple of uncharacteristic errors. At 40-15 Nick produced a backhand winner to end a close match. " -- Nick

Player Comments:
- "Nick and Avery enjoyed another close encounter which ended with Nick still seeking his elusive first win. The first set was shared early in until Avery took a 5-3 and 30-0 lead. Somehow Nick fought back to force a tie break. At 3-1 Nick looked favourite before Avery raised his game and rediscovered his serve to win 6 out of 7 points and take the time break 7-4. Avery's confidence increased and he gradually took control in the second breaking Nick at 3-2 and 40-0 down to take a decisive lead and ended an exciting contest 3 games later." -- Nick

Player Comments:
- "After an exhausting week in London there is no other way to enjoy the weekend than to drive out into the Suffolk countryside to play tennis and Saxmundham offered the perfect setting for this match. I was off the mark and sprinted to end before Matt got started. The second set saw a rejuvenated Matt hitting winners and serving well and deservedly taking the second. The third was a ding dong battle with both players holding serves up until 3-3. Avery managed to take the lead and held on to win the third with Matt chasing right to the end..,a fitting way to spend our Saturday morning...now I am off to soak my feet to start all over again tomorrow." -- Avery

Player Comments:
- "Another thrilling encounter on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Bt Adastral. The weather was not the best for tennis but both players made the most of the conditions with the first set quite close and could have gone either way. In the second set Xin serve let him down and the continuous cleaning of our spectacle after during serve did not help. Nevertheless we enjoyed our match which was played in good spirits despite the conditions. The second set reflected the drop in quality of the serves and the slippery surfaces which affected Xin more than it did to me." -- Avery

Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable but exhausting game of tennis. Trevor was late out of the blocks in the first set but when he got going it was tough keeping up with his pace. Avery managed to regain his composure and served well in the tie break and was 5-0 up before Trevor responded but not early enough to prevent the win. The second set went on serve to 3-3 until Avery managed to break and held on to win. We both agreed that a refreshing drink and rest would be best after another gruelling match lasting 2 and a half hours." -- Avery

Reveal CommentMatthew Last bt Xin Chen (May 11) 6-3, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Score line doen't really do this match much justice as with the number of deuces we had the sets could have gone either way! First set was pretty much toe to toe with scores level at 3v3 until I managed to string a couple of games in a row to go 5v3 up. In the last game of the set came one of the most bizarre/ luckiest points, where I went to drive volley a floating return from Xin only for me to totally air shot it however somehow the ball ended up bouncing just wide! Hopefully I sub-consciously knew it was out hence the air shot however it's more likely I just had a massive slice of fortune and managed to somehow not touch the ball! Second set was much the same with several long deuces and no easy points on offer. " -- Matthew

Player Comments:
- "Xin and Nick enjoyed another pulsating match only halted due to Nick sustaining an injury. Nick was quick off the blocks taking a 3-1 lead and despite Xin valiantly trying to level, Nick was able to keep a lead and close the set. The tables were turned in the second, Xin racing into a lead with his trademark backhands only for Nick to draw level. However Xin once again moved ahead to level the match. It was Nick’s turn to take the lead in the final set but at 4-2 up Nick stretched for a return only to pull his hamstring. He tried to continue but after losing the next 2 games and his mobility Xin sportingly agreed to suspend play and finish at a later date. Thank you, Xin." -- Nick

Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable match played in warm conditions at Sproughton. The first set was quite staccato, chacterised by short rallies and both of us eliciting errors from the other, and some good winners from both of us too. We shared the first 8 games having broken serve once each. I managed to grab the next two games to take a close set. I had the advantage of serving first in set 2, took the first and broke Jamie in the second. Once I'd got my nose in front I was able to take a few more risks and although several of the games went to deuce I managed to keep the momentum going and closed it out. Thanks for the game Jamie, I look forward to our next match!" -- Gary

Stuart took 2nd game to stem the flow and then never looked back to take the 3rd set. Great match with some very good ralllies and close games, thanks. " -- Stuart

I started the more steady of us and took a 3/0 lead before Zelma found her range and played some great attacking shots and worked her way into winning positions but just failed to capitalise at crucial points in games. The second set was very competitive and I had to work really hard to open up opportunities to hit winners, some worked and some didn’t. Zelma took a 3/2 lead with some great angles and good hitting.

I managed to dig in and clawed my way back to 4/4 and eventually squeezed the next two very close games to steal the first set. I took s 2/0 lead in the second only for Stuart to come back at me, the rest of the games in the set were nip and tuck, most going to deuce and including some long rallies and good winners from us both.

The first 2 games of the 2nd set were shared before Daniel was able to get ahead to 4-1. Stuart took a more attacking approach and it worked very well taking 2 games in a row and bring the score back to 3-4. A couple more lucky netcords and some narrow misses from Stuart helped to see Daniel through, although the improvement in Stuart's play since our last meeting quite recently was clear to see and the 2nd set could have gone either way.

Reveal CommentAshley Miller bt Justin Morey (Jun 2) 6-2, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "A glorious morning for tennis, almost a bit too humid. Both players made a stuttering start, with broken service for the first 4 games until 2-2, at which point Ashley finally managed to hold serve, going on to take the set. The second set started in much the same way, with broken service for the first 2 games, before Ashley took a 3-1 lead. Justin pulled one game back, but it wasn’t enough, despite some good lob shots along the way and Ashley eventually prevailed. The heat made a relatively short match feel like both players had played for a lot longer!" -- Ashley

Player Comments:
- "A fine morning for tennis, albeit with generous cloud cover. Jorunas set the tone by breaking to love in the very first game, before Ashley levelled to 1-1. Good play by Jorunas coupled with unforced errors from Ashley then enabled Jorunas to 4 games in a row & a commanding lead. Ashley tried to rally, pulling back to 4-5, before Jorunas held serve to take the first set. After winning 3 of the last 4 games in the first set, Ashley managed to continue that form in the second set. The 3rd set saw Jorunas step back up again, with the points ebbing & flowing throughout. After saving 2 match points at 5-3, Ashley clawed it back to 5-5, but Jorunas was too strong & closed it out on his 4th match point for a deserved win." -- Ashley

Player Comments:
- "A warm, slightly humid morning with mostly cloudy skies as the players took to the court. Ashley raced out of the blocks to take a commanding lead in the first set and never looked back. The second set saw Paul find some form, with several good lob shots, but he was always playing catch up and Ashley eventually prevailed with a bit to spare." -- Ashley

Reveal CommentJustin Morey bt Paul Cryer (May 19) 6-3, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "After a slighty wait as all the courts were busy, paul and I finally got going. The score did not reflect the tennis played, with a lot of games going to duece, Paul struggled a bit getting his first serve in, when he did they were difficult to return. With a few more games under his belt he will be a force to be reckoned with. In the first set I raced out to 3-0 but paul pulled it back to 3-2, even when i led 4-3 it was all to play for. In the second set i again raced out to 3-0, but this time i won the tight games. I would like to thank paul for an enjoyable game and hope he has more luck in his upcoming games." -- Justin
