Player Comments:
- "Lovely to meet you Chris. Thanks for coming over to a windy Desford tonight. It was a tough fought match and I had to run everything down. Managed to get off to a good head start in the first set and keep my nose in front. In the second we were neck and neck at 2-2 then came some close deuce games I managed to pinch which put me in a good position to see the match through. See you in the next round. " -- Owain
Player Comments:
- "Great game tonight thanks Chris when the first 3 games went to several deuces I thought this is going to be a battle. I started well and broke first only to be immediately broken back, but got over the line after breaking again and then holding. Chris started the better in the second and he really should have claimed that set he went 2-0 at the beginning and was serving for it at 5-4 and then again at 6-5 but when it went to the tie breaker I took control. Great rollercoaster and a good level played. Good luck in your remaining games mate " -- Aaron
Player Comments:
- "Good to battle again Owain became a bit more aggressive in the second set good luck in the rest " -- Aaron
Player Comments:
- "Chris really made me work for this win, which ended up being just a single break in each set, and took well over an hour. Great seeing you and good luck in the rest of your matches. " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "The match was much closer than the results may suggest. Long rallies and many deuces. Well played Sanjay and good luck in your next one. " -- Adam
Player Comments:
- "This was one of the toughest matches I've ever played. Sanjay is a great guy and a great player and I found myself 2-0 down in both sets. I somehow hacked my way back into the match to take those sets, but the match could have easily gone the other way. The two sets took nearly 1.5 hours and we then played a third friendly set which ended in a tiebreak after 12 games of service holds, which is an indication of how close this match really was. Great to meet you Sanjay and look forward to playing again." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Wow what a match it seems I am the king of the 3 setters this round lol. Really great game Sanjay you are so speedy around the court. Think it could’ve gone either way but exhaustion was setting in from both parties. Sanjay deserved the first set I was lucky it went as far as a tiebreak. Second set I took control and was 5-1 up for Sanjay to pull it back and took an early break in the second tiebreak . The deciding set was tight and we needed to add more time on the lights I took the only break of serve and kept firm to get the win. Brilliant guy and great sportsmanship with some close calls. Can’t wait for the next one " -- Aaron
Player Comments:
- "This was one of those matches where the score doesn't reflect exactly what happened. Tom was almost his usual consistent self although he hadn't been playing regularly, and many of the games were close, but I just managed to win more of the key points. Great to see you again mate and we'll sort out another match in a couple of weeks." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Another epic match it was very close throughout I fell apart towards the end of the first set but then started well in the second. The decider was full of breaks so it was about who could hold their nerves but unfortunately in the last few games Adam picked up an injury to his right shoulder but I honestly thought it was going to be a tie-breaker with the way the games were going. Always a pleasure to play against you Adam and good luck in your remaining matches." -- Aaron
Player Comments:
- "Great match again Tom such a tricky player and great sportsmanship. Some great rallies and long games which could have gone either way. Very few errors from Tom I just hit a few extra winners. Looking forward to the next one. Good luck with the rest of your matches " -- Aaron
Player Comments:
- "Very much enjoyed my first ever LTL match. Good to meet you Chris and thanks for the lengthy chat about tennis post match. Best of luck for the rest of the round." -- Sanjay
Player Comments:
- "The summary of this match was that I just made very few mistakes despite Owain hitting plenty of forehand winners. Thanks for hosting and good luck in the rest of your matches Owain." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Owain, great to see you again. 1st set very close, some great forehand shots from your side. Good luck in your next one." -- Adam
Player Comments:
- "Another close match with around half the games going to deuce with just a few more of the key points going my way. Thanks for the game Aaron and good luck in the rest of your matches." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Chris, nice to meet you, welcomto group 1. Some great forehand shots. Good luck in you next one." -- Adam
Player Comments:
- "Tom, good to see you again. Some great rallies, really enjoyed seeing and playing with you again. " -- Adam

Player Comments:
- "We played at Victoria Park. Another tightly contested match against Sanoj who beat me in numerous outings before today. Multiple aces were served in sets 1 and 2 on both first and second serve by Sanoj who raced to a 4-0 lead in set 1 however I recovered super quick and got a bit lucky in the tiebreak as one of my gets resulted in the tennis ball bouncing in, just inside the baseline then bouncing over the head and racket of a 6 foot plus tall opponent. Set 2 didn’t go my way despite all the momentum I gathered from winning set 1. Set 3 was a lot more comfortable than the previous 2. I went ahead 5-0 including 2 breaks of serve. Sanoj held serve followed by me, giving me set 3 6-1 and with it the victory. Good luck Sanoj for future matches!" -- Mayur
Player Comments:
- "Good to play Daniel again. Very enjoyable match. The second set was very competitive, and I managed to get the break at 4-4. After a shaky start managed to hold the final game to take the match. Good luck in you remaining matches Daniel. " -- Oliver
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match with some good rallies " -- Joe
Player Comments:
- "This match was played on a breezy Tuesday afternoon at Victoria Park. Rain droplets made the playing surface a tiny bit slippery but nothing serious. We started in the daylight although it was fading rapidly and the floodlights came on in the middle of set 2. Thrilling tennis. In three previous meetings against Daniel in Leicester Tennis League Rounds 37, 33 and 31 I was beaten in three sets. Twice I’ve won set 1 and twice I’ve won set 2 including today. 3 times of trying I’ve failed to be victorious in set 3. Never was there a super tie break played in this fixture before in place of set 3. Thank Goodness there was, because the tiebreak went my way and I’m really pleased to have finally won this fixture. Good luck Daniel in future matches!" -- Mayur
Player Comments:
- "We both played some good tennis and I enjoyed the rallies. Thanks for the game Jak and all the best " -- Sanoj
Player Comments:
- "Nice to meet you Sanoj. Very good match. Managed to find more consistency on my serve in sets 2 and 3. Good luck in the rest of you games. " -- Oliver
Player Comments:
- "Good match, some good rallies" -- Joe
Player Comments:
- "It was a tough match with some good rallies. Both sets could have gone either way. Daniel was excellent as usual but I was lucky a few times and managed to win some key points. Thanks for the game and good luck for your remaining matches." -- Sanoj
Player Comments:
- "The match was played in Victoria Park on what I felt was an extremely cold Wednesday evening to begin with. I chose to serve first. There were three breaks of serve in a row in the starting three games then Oliver was playing really well resulting in clinching set 1 convincingly 6-3. I grew into the 2nd set at the opportune moment as Oliver was ahead 5-2 and it was a really long road back to win the second set 7-5. I was really nervous about set 3 although quite pleased as well because Oliver beat me in straight sets in Abbey Park previously. This time I was victorious due to a lot of good fortune and just staying in each point as much as I could and getting the better of set 3 therefore I won the match. Good luck Oliver for future matches!" -- Mayur
Player Comments:
- "Great match, score doesn’t reflect some of the rallies " -- Joe

Player Comments:
- "This match started on a cold and slightly damp Saturday morning at Victoria park. Emily won the coin toss and opted to receive. I started the first set very poorly and Emily took her chances well hitting quite a few winners and took the first set 6-2. In the second set the sun came out and I played much better, there were some good rallies and great shot making by Emily. I managed to win a few crucial points and took the second set 6-2. The third set was also close and I threw a few games away on serve. I had to be more aggressive and closed the third set out 6-2. Pleased to get the victory in the end, however Emily is a real fighter and has great technique. It was lovely nice meeting you Emily and all the best with your matches!" -- Rishi
