Collapse AllKilburn Grange Park Singles - Round 4 | Thursday 30 March 2017 to Wednesday 24 May 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 26 April 2017)

There was some strong competition throughout the groups in this round, so many congratulations to the new champions who came out on top. Thanks for all your efforts in getting over 75% of matches played, and we hope to see you next time for more matches in the warmer weather.

Group Summary:

There was little to choose between the front-runners of this group as Mark, Kiren and Thomas all tied on seven points, and this time the head to head record does not provide a clear winner... A trip to the rule book is therefore in order, and after the deduction of bonus points it is Mark that comes out on top this time. Kiren pips Thomas to the silver, as he emerged victorious from their contest. Well played all.

Group Summary:

It was neck and neck in the race for the title with Stephen and Finlay tied on twelve points apiece. Similarly to the standings there was very little to separate the two in their head to head which turned out to be "a true epic battle with some fabulous rallies". Stephen eventually prevailed 7-5 in the decider to take the gold this time. Round of applause to you all some great competitive tennis.

Player Comments:

  • "We had some good fun today! Finlay has improved his serve a lot and he enjoys coming to the net often; on the other hand I love defending and making lobs and drop shots: it all ended up in a nice match and Finlay was just too unlucky when he took some risks during the second set. Looking forward to the next one!"  -- Antonio

Player Comments:

  • "It was a lovely afternoon, Spring has finally arrived! The match was actually very tight, apart from the initial games when Aizhan went down 0-5 in the first set. She didn't lose her cool though and managed to put together her best tennis after that, and in fact we had to play deuces to decide pretty much every game until the end of the match!"  -- Antonio
