"I have played a wide variety of sporting events and Local Tennis Leagues continues to be one of the best run competitions I have played in. Enjoyed the company of everyone I played and the Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre is more than worth the journey to get there,"

Bruce Stallard

"Another occasion to congratulate Nigel and Sally on organizing so brilliantly this friendly tennis competition,"

Phil Zana

"Thanks for organising this new league - it was a good way to keep playing through the winter and I also met 2 players I could play with regularly," 

Benjamin C

"I thoroughly enjoyed your  organization, the venues, my opponents and the matches. I will definitely  play in the future. For now the seniors tour starts and it would be too  difficult to combine both. However, I will be back later this year. Thanks  for your work providing a great tournament,"

Bruce Stallard

"I'm about to finish my second round and would like to say thank you to the organisers. I think they do a terrific job, everything goes so smoothly like arranging games, submitting scores etc. Participating in the league gave me a taste of competitive tennis and I think I learned a lot of tennis etiquette and thanks to some great opponents learned to enjoy the game even if you are winning or losing!"

Daniel Ion

"I really enjoyed this round and being able to play several games with other people. Also for the first time, I managed to win a few games. We shared lots of laughs and experiences together. I will def play more :) It just motivates me improve,"

Reveal CommentChris Burlton bt John Sanfey (Sep 14) 6-0, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "Thanks for the game John, tricky conditions with a slippery court today, so keeping the ball in play without turning an ankle was the main aim of the game. We had some good groundstroke exchanges and we continued to hit cross court afterwards to drill those shots. Unfortunately I think all that hitting may have finally seen off my racket which has started to warp out of all recognition. Best of luck with your remaining games John."  -- Chris

Reveal CommentChris Burlton bt Elliot Dodds (Sep 9) 6-2, 6-0

Player Comments:

  • "Elliot got off to a great start and I had to change to a more patient approach fairly quickly to avoid going 3-0 behind, rallying from the back rather than coming in and being passed at the net. I don't think the windy conditions helped either of us and this made things fairly difficult too. The final score line is not representative of how closely fought the subsequent games were, often going to deuce with just one or two points (including some luck) being the difference. A tough 90 minutes in the end and I look forward to another game in better conditions! Well played and best of luck with your remaining games."  -- Chris

We had a good game and a great effort by Arthur after a six week absence, the fitness will come back to keep in those long rallies and I'm sure we'll have a much closer game once you have got back into it. Thanks for the game and enjoy your remaining matches!"  -- Chris

The second set felt a bit like a reversal of the first, again it was full of lovely exchanges and solid hitting from us both. Having gone up 2-0 in the third, some superb forehand winners saw Kurt break back and get the lead. From there, I was playing catch up in the set. I got a bit of luck at the 5-4 game since it was not the best end to be serving from. Having levelled at 5 all, from there it was just a point or two that was the difference. A pleasure to play with Kurt as always, we had such fun despite the close nature of the match. I look forward to getting back out on the court again."  -- Tamzin

I started stronger this time round, the sunny and relatively wind-free Lee Valley conditions, allowing me to play a strong offensive game. With some great play from Sam in the second, we found ourselves at one set all. The final set might have seemed like a foregone conclusion at 5-1, but Sam dug in, saving a couple of match points and levelled the score at 5-5. One or two points from there was all the difference, and it could easily have gone the other way. It was a pleasure to share the court with Sam, and I look forward to playing again. "  -- Tamzin

  • "Credit to everyone for braving the elements and getting through what almost because farsical conditions at Lee Valley. There was wind. There was rain. But thankfully no fire other than behind some of Reg's serves. We will definitely have to play again as I feel there was so much more to come, at least we could have a laugh and no one fell over. So that's a result in itself. Great to meet you guys and let's hope for better conditions next time!"  -- Chris

Player Comments:

  • "A quality match very much enjoyed by a vocal local, who enthusiastically compared both Amy and David to Simona Halep at various stages (and who could disagree); the rest was unfortunately lost in translation. We're getting in the groove now this being our fourth match as a pair, and both Amy and Olly improved throughout the evening, with some impressive hitting and a closely fought additional set at the end. A pleasure to meet you both and hope you enjoy your remaining matches."  -- Chris

Player Comments:

  • "This was an epic two-hour battle, I am not quite sure how we managed to come out on top after being 3-1 behind (1st set) and 5-1 behind (2nd set), we just tried to keep ourselves in every point for as long as possible. David and Sam did put an end to a few of our long rallies with some sublime winners down the line. And trying to return George's serve was a challenge all in itself, Sam essentially just mopping up anything and everything at the net. A great game of tennis which could have easily gone to three sets. Best of luck with your remaining matches and look forward to our next game whenever that may be!"  -- Chris
