Player Comments:
- "That was a titanic battle. We always seem to play these long 3 setters and this one was no different. I thought the writing was on the wall when Ish raced to a 4-0 lead. It was all I could do to claw back a few games in that first set as he was returning me off the court. The second and third set couldn’t have been closer with each game pretty much going loooong into deuces. I was lucky that from somewhere I found the energy to stay with Ishmail and mix up my shots a bit so as not to be predictable. I am absolutely shattered now and that is definitely the best tennis I’ve played in this league. I needed it too, to win against a top player and top bloke. Cheers mate. Ice bath needed now.

Reveal CommentEamonn Canavan bt Lin Chen (May 6) 6-3, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "We were lucky to get the last court of the six available, nice to see so many people playing tennis. The conditions were challenging with a swirling, blustery wind which made it difficult for both of us to play our normal game. Lin played with his normal positive strokes and pulled off some great winners but the unpredictability of the wind meant it was difficult for him to get into his stride. We both saw shots that would normally land well in sail wide but in the end I managed to win through. Thanks for the match Lin, and good luck in your new job." -- Eamonn
Reveal CommentEamonn Canavan bt Simon May (May 2) 6-2, 6-0
Player Comments:

Good luck for your next matches mate " -- Darryl

Reveal CommentEamonn Canavan bt Tim Ettrick (Apr 26) 6-2, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "It was a pleasure to play Tim again, this time in Victoria Park. The courts are great and the surroundings were an interesting combination of skate park and walk in Covid test centre. We had an absorbing match, with plenty of long rallies. Our style of play is similar so it was a case of who blinked first and plenty of running to keep the rallies going. An enjoyable match on a warm and sunny day." -- Eamonn
Reveal CommentLin Chen bt Tim Ettrick (Apr 24) 6-3, 5-7, 7-5
Player Comments:
- "First match against Tim in nearly 2 years and it was an epic 3 hours battle. The 1st set was cagey as we both struggled to find our rhythm and we were content to just play it safe and pepper each other's backhand, the set all the sudden exploded into life in the last game, trailing 3-5 Tim played more aggressively and it almost paid off, the highlight of that game and the set was a crazy 20 backhand shots rally. Tim carried on attacking through out the 2nd set, hitting a lot low slices and volleys to take the set. The 3rd set was a real dogfight, every point was hard fought. The pivotal moment was when I saved 3 breakpoints at 3-4 to level the score, that deflated Tim's spirit a bit and gave me the push to go on and take the match.
Reveal CommentSimon May bt David Stark (Apr 22) 6-3, 6-3

Daryll the first three, me the next two, Daryll the next three , me the next three, but then we started to alternate winning games and were evenly matched for a while , till we reached the tie break in the second set. We had some amazing rallies on a good Summers day. Looking forward to our future contests , Daryll. Well played" -- Tim
