Reveal CommentPaul Richmond bt Harun Farah (Sep 23) 6-2, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "This was one of the toughest matches I've ever played. I never felt in control from start to finish as Harun dominated most of the rallies with his shots, and I ended up having to chase down balls and hack them back over the net just to stay in the point. I was a break down in both sets but managed to stay in touch and return enough balls to win the necessary points to see the match out. Thanks for the game Harun. You certainly didn't get the result that you deserved today and I'm definitely looking forward to playing you again." -- Paul

Reveal CommentMatthew Blaney bt Thomas Meakin (Sep 22) 5-7, 6-4, [12-10]
Player Comments:
- "Usually I would prefer being on the defensive and using my opponents power, however Tom's game style meant I had to adapt. In the first set I made plenty of errors compliment to Tom's ability to reach almost everything. I was always behind (2-0, 5-3 before bringing it back to 5-5 - Tom managed to squeeze through 7-5). In the second set it started in a similar pattern, however I changed my ways to come from 3-1 down to win 6-4. We decided that due to the weather (constant rain to play a Championship Tiebreaker). Tom had the better of the breaker and found himself in a promising position of 9-7 ahead. I managed to save 3 match points to win 12-10 in an absolute thriller. Well played Tom and good look with the rest of your matches." -- Matthew

Player Comments:
- "So I finally get my second win against Adam who is such a consistent player. I did this for the league as everyone says to me just beat Adam for me well I’ve done it guys. I actually feel I played really well in all my matches but seem to switch off at the pivotal points. I did that in the first set and thought after that it was going to be a straight forward win for Adam. Second set Adam made a few more errors and I managed to remain calm. The decider I started well and went 2-0 up but then Adam won the next 3 games then I won the following 3 games. Adam held serve to ask the question can I serve it out? Well it started poor 0-30 I thought I’ve lost it again but managed to get to match point and clinch it on my second match point 👍" -- Aaron

The second set started off in a similar fashion, however Harun found some more consistency to bring the game back from being a break down. He went into a 5-3 lead. I pulled this back to 5-5 before Harun won the set 7-5. The third set was similar to the first, however both of us were tiring. I managed to take this one 6-2. Look forward to playing you again.

The second was different, Aaron grew into the match and took a 5-2 lead. I managed to hold my serve for 5-3 to ask the question and played what was probably my best game of the match to break back.

It was much closer than the score suggests, most of the games went to deuce. Ed has fantastic defensive skill and movement, it was so difficult to hit a winner as he just seemed to get everything back! Our contrasting style definitely made for an interesting match.

There were a couple of games that lasted what seemed like forever, doing deuce, advantage, deuce for eternity.

Player Comments:
- "Turns out Shuaib have played before, I'd forgotten. But it wasn't long before his style of play came flooding back to me. He has quite an aggressive style of play, going for the winner alot of the time. My style is somewhat less expansive, perhaps best described as dogged. The first set saw these contrasting styles go toe to toe, & the tie break was inevitable.....somehow I just edged it. Following a court move, the 2nd set went a little more the way of the 'dogged' style. But perhaps because Shuaib had another match straight after that he was conserving energy for..? Tough 2 hour+ match." -- Stephen

I got ahead early in the first set as everything seemed to go well for me. The second set started in a similar way but then Ed managed to gain the momentum as he just wasn't making any mistakes.

Player Comments:
- "Great game against Daniel on the clay at Carisbrooke. The result was a lot closer than when we played in the last round. The clay courts really suit Daniel 's style of play which was evident in how close the score was. Daniel gets everything back no matter which part of the court you put the ball in and even more so on clay. I was expecting lots of long rallies against Daniel and I got even more than I bargained for, a few of which were 20 shots or more! Really enjoyed the game and glad to get some points on the board. Daniel is a top guy and has great sportsmanship. Look forward to playing again soon. Good luck in your remaining matches." -- Shuaib

He stormed to a 5-2 lead, but I managed to claw it back and got the set after a nervy few last points. Jay then took the second easily, and deservedly so. The third, we were neck and neck all the way through to 4-4, but after lots of tiring points, I managed to get the win, 6-4, to take the 3rd and final set.

Player Comments:
- "Darryl played a near perfect first set and hardly put a foot wrong. His serves were on fire, his forehand winners were unretrievable and as he said himself, he had really good rhythm. Second set, I had to do something different to stand a chance. I tried to be committed to everything and focused on my strengths. It worked.. I got to 5-0 up and had 5 or 6 set points. The only issue was, Darryl wasn't playing badly, nor was he losing his cool. He saved all the set points and got the game. Then the next, and the next etc. When he went 6-5 up, I was pretty much gone. I tried to reset, but he just wasn't giving anything away. He held his nerve and served the set out for a 2-0 win. Hats off to you Darryl, you schooled me today. Respect!" -- Edward

- "We organised the match on the same day during casual conversation. Lin had a cancelled match and therefore we were both free that evening and so we played, but little did either of us realise what a mammoth battle this would be. We were both so evenly matched that the score could easily have gone either way. The hardest most exhausting match either of us have had in our lifetime. Each point was like a fnal of a grand slam! It took 4.5 hrs of almost continuous play with mininal breaks to reach a conclusion! We were both bathed in sweat at the end and our legs so sore that it took a week to walk properly again, but it was so worth it. Simply Amazing!!" -- Jay

Finally I broke back and it was quite even till I got a second break and eventually won the set 6-4. The second set also had some crucial games , similar to that third game, yet I managed a couple of breaks to get 4-0 up, Jo came back strongly to make it 4-3 and if the momentum hadn't swung back in the the next game, Jo may have gone on to win that set. Crucially I broke Jo to give myself a chance to serve for the match. The last game went to several deuces, but eventually led to me winning 6-3. Well played Jo.

Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Mayur Vadher (Sep 20) 4-6, 7-5, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "Great match in good conditions. In set one Mayur played to his strengths of playing some strong top spins and although I was a break up at one point, quickly that was reversed and Mayur approached the last game needing to break me, which he did succesfully. The second set had a moment when I changed from defensive tactics to attacking ones and I got a decisive break of serve, finally winning the set by holding my serve. The third set was a tighter set than it looked and began with us at 1-1 and looking like another 50 minute set, but with both of us tiring after more than two hours of tennis I managed to get a succession of breaks to give me a 5-1 lead. The final game was topsy turvey but ended with me taking the match. Well played Mayur." -- Tim

Reveal CommentMayur Vadher bt Jo Sohn-Rethel (Sep 18) 7-6 (7-5), 7-5
Player Comments:
- "The match was played at Victoria Park on a Sunday morning with decent playing conditions. In other words there wasn’t any rain for the duration of proceedings. I chose to serve first after my opponent guessed wrong for the coin toss. This was a return match from a previous round where I was defeated in three fun sets. This time around I got my loss back and to do it in straight sets was a great feeling. With victory I broke a two-match losing streak. The match was around two hours so it was not an easy ask to get over the finish line but I am very grateful to get the win. Jo had a good showing especially in set 1 when he was 6-5 ahead and serving for the set but I tried my best and it worked out well for me. Good luck Jo for future matches!" -- Mayur

Coming from squash hes got that great ability to put the ball anywhere on the court. My serve went well this evening and got a couple of crucial breaks to take the match. Good luck in the rest of your matches." -- Paul

In the second set the games were very even and a lot of close deuce games. I managed to just sneak the set 6-4. The third set was extremely close and could have gone either way in the tiebreak. Somehow I just managed to squeeze through in the end and take the third set. It was lovely meeting you Alin and hopefully we can have another game again soon.

- "Close competitive match with some very tight deuce games. Shankar got off to a great start but I managed to come back from 4-1 down. 4-4 game was pivotal, each of us holding advantage. Second set was closer then the score looks. Court was still a bit slippy and I managed to win one point after falling over (though I think Shankar went easy on me). Very friendly, thanks for a great game. Good luck for the rest of your matches. " -- Mark
