Player Comments:

  • "Was really fun to play Sam. He's got a very consistent game and we had a lot of rallies. He moves very well which made the match quite tough as I had to keep trying to push him out of the court to win points. The second set was a long and hard fought affair. We both raised our games and had intense rallies covering every angle of the court. He was up a break the entire time until I finally broke him twice in a row. Fun match on a sunny day, played in a very friendly spirit. Good luck for rest of the matches Sam!"  -- Kunal

In the second set Ben started moving me around the court well, and forced me into making errors. He fought back from 3-0 in the second to bring it to 3-3, making me dig deep to get the win. A very enjoyable match. I hope we get to play again soon!"  -- Roberto

Player Comments:

  • "What an epic match! We knew that it would be a long, tough match after the first game lasted around ten minutes. The first set was very close, much more so than the scoreline reflects. The tide turned in the second set. Kunal was more consistent and moved me around the court, and took advantage when on top in points. After taking a 6-1 lead in the tiebreak, Kunal fought back to 8-5, and had me worried. A great match played in good spirit. Good luck for the rest of the competition Kunal!"  -- Roberto

Player Comments:

Sam has a great hustle, and was chasing down a lot of my attacking shots, and kept points going. Sam managed to perfect the drop shot, followed by a lob combination that won him a lot of points. There were a lot of long rallies too. I certainly felt I had been in a tough game at the end of it. A very friendly game. Good luck for the rest of the league."  -- Roberto

He is a consistent server who has a tricky drop shot at his disposal. I had to make him move around the court to win points, and Harvin admitted me being a 'leftie' added a challenge. Good luck to Harvin for the rest of the games. I hope to play against you soon."  -- Roberto

He loves a drop shot which meant for a lot of net play - often both of us battling it out at the net to get the point. I was lucky in the tie break to get the shady side and Dennis in full sun.
