Player Comments:
- "Game of peaks and troughs in terms of both the play and the weather with two rain delays and a swirling wind. Julian took a while to settle into the match allowing me to secure a couple of early breaks and serve out the first set. He found consistency on his ground strokes in the 2nd set and comfortably took it 6-3 following a break at 3-3 and playing some great tennis. The 2nd rain delay gave me time to regroup and secure an early break in the 3rd. The shot of the match came at 4-1 as I had points for a 2nd break and Julian produced a superb running passing shot at the end of 15 shot rally. He eventually held but I was able to serve out the set. " -- Tom

Player Comments:
- "Really windy day again and not the most enjoyable circumstances to enjoy tennis. Tom was not in this best form and with his high ball toss, the wind really messed with his serve, which gave me lots of free points on double faults. Tom mounted a charge in the second set but I held strong, even helped by a shank serve that dropped in. " -- David

- "Really enjoyable and very tight match against Marcos. The first set was very close going to 4-4 on serve and could have easily gone either way. I was able to break at 4-4 with Marcos then having break points himself when as I was serving for the set. I managed to get an early break in the second and serve out the set. " -- Tom

Reveal CommentDavid Jovic bt Brian O'neill (Jun 21) 6-4, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Nearly failed to make it due to a time mix up and Brian was kind enough to wait around. Aswasy feel uncomfortable playing Brian due to his wide array of spins and in particular his second serve which I find myself incompetent at returning most of the time. I was able to seize all the opportunities that were presented to me and with Brian still trying to regain his pre-lockdown form, I was able to pull it off in two tight sets." -- David
Reveal CommentMarcos Fernandez bt Julian Leichtmann (Jun 20) 6-3, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Having lost last time out to Julian, I was expecting a tough game today but Julian was a bit rustier than me and definitely struggled with his serve in particular. I was able to hold my serve quite well which took the pressure off me. The first set was tight we got to 3-3 before I was able to break Julian and see out the set. The 2nd set saw lots of double faults from Julian but despite that there was good rallies throughout. Happy to get the win today." -- Marcos
Reveal CommentTom Harvey bt Brian O'neill (Jun 19) 5-7, 6-0, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "I managed to get a small lead in the first set but Brian made a great comeback, playing his typically huge forehand at key moments and holding his nerve in the final couple of games to take the set 7-5. The second set started close but a single entertaining lung busting point in the third game seemed to be the turning point as the balance of the match tipped in my favour. " -- Tom
Reveal CommentDavid Jovic bt Robert Dixon (Jun 18) 6-4, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "After 24 hours of rain, the skies cleared up but residual wind was an issue early on. Having never played Robert, I struggled to adjust and the 1st set was in real peril at 4-4. I actually felt Robert became more consistent as the match went by and although I had a comfortable lead in the 2nd, Robert threatened again before I pulled away. Good match. " -- David
Reveal CommentMarcos Fernandez bt Tom Harvey (Jun 14) 6-3, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Always a fun game against Tom, who hadn't played since our last match in March, so was definitely less sharp than usual. Our very first point was an epic rally which set the scene for many more. Having played a bit more than Tom recently my serve was more solid and I could hold it more easily and broke when needed to in a tight first set. Having not beaten Tom in years, i really focused in the second set and saw it through 6-2 thankfully. A good day for me in the sunshine." -- Marcos
Reveal CommentDavid Jovic bt Julian Leichtmann (Jun 14) 6-3, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Good to play Julian again after our epic battle some years ago and was able to capitalize on some chances early on as Julian's wore off some of his lockdown rust. Julian got some consistency back in the second set with a few good serves and with the prospect of a 3rd set was looming, I was able to stay concentrated and take the win. " -- David

Player Comments:
- "Tricky conditions in Kennington on Saturday with swirling winds on court. Always a battle against David and one i tend to fall short in and did so again at the weekend. David's technique and topspin off both sides helped him keep the ball down and ultimately get the better of me on the big points. I managed to go 3-1 in the second but David found another gear and I couldn't stop the onslaught of him winning the next 5 games. Very welled played David again!" -- Marcos
Reveal CommentMarcos Fernandez bt Brian O'neill (Jun 9) 7-5, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Having lost the last couple of times to Brian and his big forehand & leftie serve, I was hoping to do better tonight. It was a perfect night in Kennington if a little humid and I got off to strong start and raced into a 5-1 lead. Brian came back at me starting to serve very well and managed to get level at 5-5 but i think the fight back took a lot of out him physically. I was able to see the set out 7-5. The 3rd set started tightly going to 2-2, we avoid each others forehands so lots of backhand exchanges and tonight i was more consistent with which made the difference. Happy to see the match out in the end. Look forward to playing Brian again!" -- Marcos

Player Comments:
- "A miracle to get this game done today in the London showers and thunderstorm. Apart from a few drops in the 2nd set we were ok but with a slightly slippery surface which affected us both. Having not played Rob before I didnt know what to expect and was soon 4-2 behind in the first before finding some range and clawing back the set 6-4. Rob raced away with the second set with some lovely double handed back hand winners and deft drop shots to cruise to 6-1. I found my footing and form in the final set as Rob ran out of steam. Enjoyable game on a tricky day. Happy to get the game done and off to a winning start." -- Marcos

- "Dejan started well romping to a 2-0 lead. But I fought back to 2-2 ,exhibiting some lovely volleys and overhead smashes along the way. Dejan however, was determined not to be pushed aside! He battled his way to 4-4 all! But I ran away with the tie break 7-3! Second set, I thought I played an immaculate game and was really getting down low on the ball nice and early giving Dejan no time to trade with me, as a result got more winners! I was able to serve it out 4-1! It finished. Nice guy Dejan and very safety cautious. Very good to see in these critical times we live in. All the best In rest of your matches. " -- Ogba
Reveal CommentOgba Ogbimi bt Jamie Feldman (Jun 30) 7-5, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "From onset because we had 1hour time slot we both agreed to play a long set in set one and other sets short first to 4. First set I led 3-1, 4-2, 5-3 but was not consistent to serve it out then. Fair play to Jamie he was pushing and pushing each time despite his tight shoulder. Eventually could not push any more to take the set to a tie - breaker and I managed to wrap the set 7-5. Knowing second set would be short format I started well. Served well and made it 1-0. But Jamie took his serve and it was 1-1. It was getting a bit topsy- turvey . Jamie broke me and made it 2-1 and I broke straight back 2-2, then 3-3. Now it was winner takes all as players were waiting and I maintained my composure to win the set and the match! " -- Ogba

- This was a match in all honesty I should have walked over Alex. However, fair play he made a mistake playing someone else on the wrong court , thinking it was me! Just as I was about to leave he came to me if I was Ogba. We decided to play the match. Alex took first set 6-3, and second set I fought from 5-2 down to take the set 7-5. We kept switching courts as players that booked kept coming to play on their court. In the end Alex retired. It was a really good match up. Shame it finished that way. Hope we can meet again. -- Ogba

Collapse AllKennington & Brockwell Parks Doubles - Round 27 | Thursday 30 January 2020 to Wednesday 8 April 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 4 March 2020)
Well done on getting so many matches played this round, despite some less than tennis-friendly weather. There would of course been even more matches played, had the Coronavirus not stopped played and well done to Andrew & Rachel and Callum & Sally in group 2 for squeezing in a final match before we were all kept indoors! Looking forward to seeing you all back in action when restrictions are lifted!
Group Summary:
A convincing win for group champs Alberto and Gherardo who won three matches without dropping a set and got their bonus points to boot! That made it hard for David and James to catch them, but they had a good run to finish runners up. It was a shame Jesus and Paolo played one match only and that Russell and Nick didn't get going (hope you are ok), but we know doubles is hard to arrange and of course this round was cut short a couple of weeks early.

Group Summary:
There was a nail biting finale between the eventual champs (Ynda and Adrian) and runners up (Oliver and Simeon) at 4-6, 6-3 and 7-7 in the tie break. It does not get much close than that. It took 8 more points but Ynda and Adrian won 12-10! It was their third three setter in this closely fought group and they needed their one extra win (against Callum and Sally) to clinch the group. Many congratulations to them. Oliver and Simeon were just one point behind.

Player Comments:
- "Conditions were a little wet and windy, but luckily relatively calm for most of the match. A very close one with some good, varied play on either side. Both teams won points off solid serves, strong grounstrokes and (often short) slice balls. Except for 3 or 4 quick service holds and a couple of brisk breaks, most games were tight. The same was true of the match tiebreaker - played due to time limitations - in which Adrian and I took an early lead 4-1, but Oliver and Simeon fought back. At 7-7, the match was anyone's for the taking, but we eventually came through 12-10." -- Ynda
