Player Comments:

  • "We started the match despite really heavy rain. I managed to win a few close games with multiple deuces at the beginning of the 1st set and managed to stay on top. Luckily, the rain stopped/ got lesser. In the 2nd set, I was already 3:4 down and Peter played with more consistency, passing me quite a few times at the net. I managed to find my game again and brought the set home. Could have easily ended much closer. Thanks for the great match mate."  -- Julian

Player Comments:

  • "Joe started off very well and got a 5:1 lead in the 1st set very quickly. He'd hardly missed a point. I managed to get into the match by the end of the set and we played a close 2nd set. I managed to win 3 games in a row and secured this set. The tie break was bizarre, I was 2:8 behind and even at 5:9 it seemed unlikely to come back but I somehow managed to do so. A good and competitive match, very windy conditions and rain, 2 different surfaces... Thanks for the match Joe."  -- Julian

Player Comments:

  • "Peter started very well giving me nothing in the first set and I just couldn't get into it. I tried to hit bigger but just gave away free points. Second set he broke in the first game but I found my f hand consistency and attacked the second serve to race to 5-1. I got nervy and just about managed to get over the line for 6-3. Set 3 I broke and held for 2-0 but Peter then managed a good hold. First or second point at 2-1 with me serving Peter pulled up. He tried another couple of points but he was definitely struggling to move now and he had to call it a day. Shame as just about getting to real crunch point of the match. I hope it's nothing too serious and we play a full match soon. "  -- Julian

I was definitely cagey at the end and saved b point at 5-3 and if it had gone to 5-4 with Carsten serving we might still be playing.

Player Comments:

  • "Joe started slow and I had a point for a 5-1 lead but he came back to 5-5 and I just managed to get over the line. Second set I came back from 3-5 to serve for it at 6-5 but was broken to 30. Joe then played a tidy breaker to take it. Third set Joe broke in first game and nearly held for 2-0 and probably the match but I broke back and won the next four games as he dipped in form. At 5-1 to me Joe picked it up again and easily took the next two games. Luckily I focused and served out the match at the third attempt for 6-3. Tight match with many swings of momentum played on three different courts at the same club. Relief for me to finally beat Joe who has consistently been the top player in recent rounds......

Player Comments:

  • "This was a very tough match! Thankfully I was fast out of the blocks and won the first set while Hugh was finding his range. In the second set, he has definitely found it, and won convincingly with some super play. I was suffering physically - some of the points were long and this match probably featured the longest point I have ever been involved in - and was fearing the worst going into the final set...I somehow managed to regain my composure and ran off to a 3-0 lead. Hugh then turned the screw again and came back to 3-2. The next game was probably the decider, and thankfully for me I managed to hang in there for dear life and take it. A lovely evening for tennis and a great match played in the right spirit. Thanks so much Hugh."  -- Raf

Player Comments:

  • "Lovely sunny conditions. Matches with Stefano have tended to be tough affairs and this one was no different. The first set was very convincing by Stefano. The second set saw unforced errors creep in to Stef's game. Stef raced off to a 2-0 lead in the final set before some unforced errors crept in allowing me to take the next 5 games. The tide seemed to be turning in Stef's favour in the next game, but then our time ran out...to be continued. 5-2 to me. 30-40 on my serve."  -- Raf

  • "A beautiful, slightly dreamlike summer evening on court 2 in Sydenham Wells Park. The first two sets went by in a flash before the match ground to a halt in the first few games of the decider, with three very long, gruelling deuce games. The rest of the third set was tight but unlike many other matches in this round I managed to stay relaxed and swing freely, which helped me past the finishing line. It's definitely the best I have played this round and nice to finish on a high note! Thanks Hugh for the match. "  -- Paul
