- "Scorcher in Burgess Park. I am still quite unsure how to handle Simon's unorthodox game but was able to pull it off this time somehow although Simon had his share of winners. First set could have really gone either way and I'm just delighted it did not go to 3 which would have been a struggle following my previous day's battle with Tom." -- David

Both sets were tight affairs, each of us taking it turns to put together runs of games as the momentum swung forwards and backwards between us. Even had time to squeeze in a third set afterwards, which was equally competitive. Looking forward to our next match!" -- Timothy

I tried to get on top of my game in the second and managed to get through that until the rain kicked in and we had to stop. To be continued on Tuesday at 9!" -- Jamie

The (slightly dodgy) Larkhall park floodlights reluctantly flickered on, initiating and illuminating an impressive fightback. Nick's powerful forehand and precise volleying saved three match points over the next two games, bringing the score level at 5-5. Nick was on fire, Ed was rattled. Long rallies and tense moments defined the next two games, with Ed just managing to halt Nick's momentum and edge over the line, narrowly winning the set 7-5. An enjoyable match- thanks!" -- Edward

With Nick hitting some good passing shots when I came forward, I decided to retreat to the baseline which seemed to work. I saw out the rest of the set, despite several deuces. The second set saw Nick's serve misfire, and although he hit some nice forehands just lacked a bit of consistency. I've no doubt the next game will be much closer." -- Adam

Mark breezed through the first set 6-1, with me struggling for rhythm and ideas. In the second, Mark was still making me run around the court with great variety and accuracy. However, I began to play a bit more tennis, attacking Mark's serve when the chance came. It finished 6-4 but could have gone either way. In the third, young legs began to tell. Whereas in the first I had been making the unforced errors, now this switched around. It finished 6-3 but it felt close throughout." -- Adam

Player Comments:
- "I did not deserve to win this match.... Laura has fantastic ground strokes and incredible consistency. I wonder if she is Andy Murray's sister: she hit a winner every single time she was heavily on the back foot. The first set was close, with robust rallying from the baseline, where I managed to break mid-set and hold for the remainder. In the second Laura rightly tore me apart. I served more double faults than I can count and showcased some truly awful net play. Credit to Laura, who maintained her consistency and hit sublime lobs on many occasions. By the third set we started to tire and minds drifted to what was for dinner. I scraped by pushing shots and was very possibly helped by our inability to remember the score mid-set. Thanks Laura" -- Michael

All in all, a very enjoyable and even match ... On to the next one!" -- Christopher

Player Comments:
- "Having lost to Chris in a previous LTL round, I was keen for revenge. This time we clashed in windy conditions on the grass courts used for the Wimbledon qualifiers, with similarly robust baseline exchanges to last time. I raced to a 4-0 lead and a double break in the first set, though Chris went on to win the next 3 games by exploiting weak serving on my part. I managed to hold serve and steal a final break to close the set. The second set was tight. We both failed to consolidate some early breaks of serve, and I was down multiple break points when serving at 4-4. Fortunately I held on, and with luck managed to take the match through a couple shots of the frame being helped by the wind and divine intervention. A very enjoyable match again
- "One win for Michael on the grass! A previous win to me on the hard court! All to play for ... If we meet in another group, I think we should settle this on the clay! Nevertheless ... two very closely fought matches!" -- Christopher

Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable match which was closer than the score suggests. Also, I feel a bonus point should be given to Eliza after she very kindly gave me a banana in-between sets after I stupidly brought no snacks with me - I hope this is possible! Thanks Eliza!" -- James

Player Comments:
- "A very close match, particularly on the first set. Lots of long rallies and exciting shots that got us both very absorbed - to the point we were struggling to keep track of the score. All the best to Eliza for the rest of the league and look forward to a rematch sometime in future, hopefully with less wind next time!" -- Magdalena

Player Comments:
- "Beautiful sunny afternoon in Kennington park. The first set was way more competitive than the result suggests. Saved a lot of break points and got way too lucky many times. My approaches to the net worked well in the first part of the match, but soon enough Angelina adjusted to my play and made things a lot tougher for me. We had some good rallies and I look forward to our next game! " -- Julius

Reveal CommentJohn Barton bt Julius Sukarevicius (Aug 3) 6-4, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Was a pleasure to play vs John. Started the 1st set really well with a 3:0 lead, but John quickly adjusted and started putting more pressure on me. A few deuces didn't go my way and very soon I was playing catch up. The second set was similar to the first - I started strong, but John soon picked up the pace, eventually winning the match. " -- Julius

Player Comments:
- "Beautiful park, ugly surface, cracking match. A dramatic and hard fought baseline face off in the long midsummer light. Apart from the efforts of the court's cracks and bumps, this was a story of high concentration, long deep-shorter rallies and to-the-line shots in which the second set score belies the parity of the play.

Player Comments:
- "The conclusion of the Wimb champ for another year, wasn't the end of top class tennis in Ldn. Just a day after the SW19 gates closed for the final time in 2017, Vauxhall Park played host to an epic. The match, contested by duos Rosie/James & David/Susannah went the distance, leaving everything on the uneven & at times, questionable court. R&J started the match brightly. Their teamwork & positioning, matched by their consistency on serve, was too much for a lethargic D&S. Within a flash R&J took the first set 6 - 1. The 2nd set was much more competitive, with D&S finally making a contest of it. The rallies were long, volleys sharp & the set, - even & decided via tie break. 3rd set 7-5 D&S, just" -- David
