Player Comments:
- "Despite the thumping music from the inappropriately placed fun-fare (no, you can't make this up) behind courts 1-3, Zafar and I enjoyed this match. I went up 5-1 in the 1st set but Zafar managed to reel one game back to 5-2. He went on to serve but I broke his serve to take the set 6-2. Zafar took the 2nd set 6-4, using a combination of slices and acute angled backhands. I should've stayed in the moment but my previous defeat to Zafar flashed before my eyes and I tried too hard causing errors. In the 3rd set, we exchanged breaks and there were some lung-busting rallies. Crucially, I held the 9th game to go 5-4 up and won the final game on Zafar's serve to win 6-4. Great match Zafar. Good luck with the remaining matches." -- Reg

Player Comments:
- "It is very hard to play David, considering he has very strong forehand and backhand so there was not weak place to explore, on top of that he was directly finishing every short ball I was pushing in his court. I just had to hang in with my defensive style and wait for errors. In the first set I led 4:2 and lost it, while in the 3rd he had 5:3 lead, but then I managed to come back." -- Ivan

Second set was just as difficult with David right pulling ahead 3-1 , I somehow managed to bring it back to 4-4 with some long rallies , then taking the set , Well played David , you have an excellent game , hope to play you soon!" -- Omer

Andrew put down a few aces and lots of un-returnable serves and was attacking the net with success. It was exciting tennis. I snuck through in the end but it was closer than the score suggests.

Sam played with a lot of slice which mixed the game up a lot and brought plenty of rewards in the second set. Sam went 2 up in the final set before it went back to serve with a break back and finally at 5-4 on the second match point I prevailed. Great fluctuating spirited match" -- Winston

Reveal CommentNik Wottge bt David Arnaud (May 18) 6-7, 6-2 David Arnaud Retired
Player Comments:
- "This match was a bloodbath. David has the ability to mix-up shots beautifully. From tricky drop shots, to dipping down the line forehands, to a perfectly timed slice that lands just inside the base line and skids through the court - it is really difficult to develop any kind of rhythm in your own game whilst facing such a barrage of variation. The points were long and, on a hard court surface, physically gruelling. The first set went to a tie-break with David clinching victory after two slice backhands from Nik went just wide. The brutality of the match took its toll - David’s old knee injury flared up in the second set allowing more winners from Nik to get past. In the end, the injury forced his retirement. I couldn’t walk for a week.." -- Nik
Reveal CommentNik Wottge bt Winston Balfourth (May 12) 6-3, 4-6, 7-6
Player Comments:
- "What a great game and in challenging/windy conditions. Winston started slow in the first set but was really seeing the ball in the second. Starting from a 1-4 disadvantage he won the next 6 games consecutively and cruised to a 6-4 victory. He hit several powerful top-spin winners into the open court. The third set started similarly, (down 1-4) but then coming back to a dramatic tie-break finish. A could of strong serves from Nik tilted the balance in the tie-break. What a great game which could have gone either way. Super enjoyable even if a bit stressful! " -- Nik
- "Really good match between Nik and myself. The wind did make conditions difficult at times for both of us but a titanic battle ensued. Great spirit and a result that could have gone either way. Both of us had match point at 4-5 and 6-5 in the final set before Nik got the upper hand in the tie break 7-3." Winston

Player Comments:
- "The wind really affected both of us today. Being honest Felipe was by far the better player. First set was close. But second set Felipe was far more aggressive, hit more winners and was the better player. The wind just didn't help his attacking game. In the last game, he was serving at 30 all and gifted me an error to make it 30-40 and then served a double fault. If the match had gone to a tie break he was more likely winner and if it had gone to third set I think he would have won comfortably. So bit of a robbery today on my part. But Felipe was the better player and in calmer conditions he will win a lot of matches with his attacking style. Best of luck Felipe." -- Nazim

The first he got off to a flying start but I was able to pegged him back before winning two close games to win the set. Second set I was the first to hold serve to go 4-2 up which was the key to winning the set and match. " -- Thomas

Player Comments:
- "An incredibly tight match, Ben moving into an early lead in set 1, with Matthew catching up to square at 6:6 forcing tiebreak which Ben won comfortably. Set 2 was just as tight with several long rallies, with Matthew just edging it. With the two hour mark approaching and both players tiring the final set was a mix of unforced errors and winners dragged from both players, the third set score not reflecting the tightness of several of the games which contained multiple deuce points. Looking forward to our next contest!" -- Matthew

Player Comments:
- "Lively match with Andrea at a very busy and noisy Stratford Park, which made it hard to concentrate at times! 1st set could have gone either way, going with serve till I managed to break Andrea’s serve at 4-5 to take the 1st set. Lots of games ran to multiple deuces and good long rallies. The 2nd set was much closer than the score line suggests, again with lots of long rallies and most games running to deuces. Looking forward to playing Andrea again in the near future ." -- Trevor

Player Comments:
- "Amazing marathon match. 3 sets took 2 1/2 hours in seering heat at Stratford Park. Four games in the 1st set lasted more than 5 minutes each. Very even and long 1st set which I managed to hang on to win 7-5. Greg ran away in the 2nd set to win 6-2. He then came back from 5-1 down in the 3rd set to take it to 5-5, saving numerous match points against him, but eventually I managed to win two more games to close the match 7-5 in the final set. Look forward to playing Greg again soon." -- Trevor
