Collapse AllIslington Tennis Centre Singles - Round 13 | Thursday 27 February 2020 to Thursday 19 March 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 25 March 2020)

Original dates: Thursday 27 February 2020 to Wednesday 22 April 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 25 March 2020)

Sadly the Coronavirus crisis overtook this round. Even though some great matches were played, the round didn't make it to the midpoint and the competition was abandoned. Bonus point prizes were of course honoured and qualifying matches sent to the LTA for the purpose of BTM ratings, but this round will have no group winners. Instead, all players receive a round credit and are encouraged to join the next or a future round. Can't wait to get back on court and all players will be notified of new rounds starting!

  • "A good match. I hadn’t played a league match for a few months, so was a little nervous beforehand and Elio was hitting nicely during the warm up. In the match itself I found decent form and despite some nice technique from my opponent was able to navigate a path to victory. Some games were closer than the score suggests. "  -- Brett
