Reveal CommentMatthew Blaney bt Aaron Darby (Sep 20) 4-6, 6-3, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "Well, that was a great match of tennis on a beautiful evening at LFE Tennis Club on the clay. It was by far the closest of any of my 5 matches so far in this round, with lots of great rallies. From good defensive moments from both myself and Aaron to drop shots from both of us. Every rally was hard fought. My first singles match on clay, it took a while to get used to the movement, this went to Aaron's advantage in the first set, in the 2nd set I started to get used to the style of play, although I tried my best to give Aaron the set which I eventually served out before winning the third in more comfortable fashion. Great game Overall Aaron, looking forward to our next meeting. " -- Matthew
Reveal CommentOwain Ford bt Jay Radia (Sep 20) 6-3, 4-6, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Well I do like a 3 setter, and this match was no different. I’m absolutely exhausted now after a titanic battle with Jay. What a great entry to the draw, a fair and friendly player who never gave up on anything. We both have similar styles which is why this one went the distance. I managed to take the first set with my short balls coming off very well. Then I managed to take a 4-1 lead in the second set which Jay clawed back by playing more consistently with a change of tactics. I just couldn’t find a way to win it. Luckily in the third set I started to go for my shots more and was relieved to get over the line at 6-3 as I don’t think I had another game in me. Great match. Thanks Jay. " -- Owain

Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable game from two retired Rugby stars! There were some hard fought deuces, with Paul taking the first on my serve, it set the scene for a good match - fortunately the last deuce of the game that went on for what seemed like hours, went my way for the victory - but only after Paul had peppered the lines a few times! Look forward to next time! " -- Joseph
Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Lin Chen (Sep 25) 2-6, 6-3, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Lin getting an early break in the first set, after some crucial deuces meant that he had the upper hand in the first set . The second set was a real dog fight (if that's the right term) with both of us playing cautiously but consistently, with long rallies. It was a relief to snatch the set. The third set was even more of an epic battle, but having got a break early on , I did have a 3-1 lead at one time which , as with the first set when Lin had a 3-1 lead , it meant a big phychological advantage. So on a perfect, albeit muggy day our epic 2 and a half hour match ended , how it always does between us , with a three set result. Look forward to the next one Lin." -- Tim
Reveal CommentJoseph Stack bt Tim Ettrick (Sep 22) 6-1, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable game and great to get back up to Victoria Park. Tim was a great host and made sure the impromptu roller skating lesson adjacent to us didn’t encroach! The score didn’t do the match justice with plenty of deuce games, but somehow my shots stayed the right side of the line for a change. Tim battled for every point and came to the net particularly well - looking forward to the next one Tim!" -- Joseph
Reveal CommentSimon May bt Mayur Vadher (Sep 19) 6-1, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "We played on a wet day at Victoria Park. I got off to a good start in the first set, though the scoreline flattered me. Mayur grew into the match and started the second set well by going 2-0 up. I leveled it to 2-2 and then it was on serve up to 4-4. Two more close games with long deuces and I managed to get the set and match over the line. Nice to meet you Mayur and good luck with your remaining matches. " -- Simon
Reveal CommentPaul Morris bt Mayur Vadher (Sep 18) 7-5, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Good to play Mayur over at Abbey Park today. Fun match as both of us always try to outdo the other. In the first set I jumped out to a 5-2 lead with set point only for Mayur to begin the comeback getting back to 5-5 before I managed to close it out at 7-5. As it got warmer I had to knuckle down to take the second set despite Mayur's hitting lines and playing some great forehands. Good luck in the rest of your matches!" -- Paul
Reveal CommentLin Chen bt Chris Glover (Sep 18) 3-6, 6-2, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Fantastic match against a really good player, Chris got off to a flying start, quickly raced to a 4-1 lead by hitting some lovely cross court forehands and backhand slices. I managed to regroup in the 2nd set and slowly got used to the clay court and Chris' shots, the final game of the set was a real dog fight, lasted well over 20 min and had 10+ deuces. Winning that tough game spurred me on in the 3rd set, I got the break early on and held my nerve to serve out the match. What a game! Look forward to the next one soon mate. " -- Lin
Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Paul Morris (Sep 15) 6-2, 6-3

Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Mayur Vadher (Sep 8) 6-2, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "The score suggests a comfortable win, but this was anything but that. Clearly there were deciding points- like one of my shots hitting the net and creeping over to win a game that gave me a crucial lead in the first set. Other deciding factors were the sun and wind- the former affecting our serves early in the match and allowing me to benefit from extra double faults-always an easy way to win a point !. Fortunately in the second set the sun had moved around more. There were also some epic rallies- the longest one which I managed to win and maybe gave me an important advantage. In spite of the very hot day it was a great match . played against a very sporting opponent. Well played Mayur. I look forward to the next one." -- Tim
