The score line flattered me in the end and the match was thoroughly enjoyed.

Player Comments:
- "What a topsy turvy match, it went this way and that. I started the quicker after 2 breaks of serve each, and everything seemed to come off as I took the first set 6-2. In the second Joe started to get his consistency back and was coming up with some great shots and tactics, as I stuttered. The third set looked like being a tense affair and it was, I just edged ahead 4-2 and kept my nose in front with my serve becoming more precise and returns bringing a return. Well played mate. A great battle. This is me bowing out from this round, it’s been great to get a few wins under my belt after the previous rounds loses. Stay safe everyone, and stay sane in Lockdown 2.0" -- Owain
Reveal CommentEamonn Canavan bt Joseph Stack (Oct 31) 6-2, 7-5
Player Comments:
- "We started at 7am, the earliest either of us have ever played a Local League match. After some problems with the lights in the LFE bubble we got into the match and I played on of my best ever sets winning 6-2. The second set was a marathon, lots of long rallies and when I eventually managed to break and was serving for the match Joe broke back. We then had to vacate the bubble and continue outside on clay courts with really blustery wind. The change of scenery did neither of us any favours and having to cope with real weather after the perfect conditions in the bubble was a big challenge. Another two long games followed and I managed to close out the second set. Shortly after the heavens opened so we were lucky in the end. Great game Joe." -- Eamonn

Reveal CommentAaron Darby bt Ammaar Dana (Oct 27) 6-2, 7-6 (7-2)
Player Comments:
- "Great evening for a tennis even if it was a tad cold and windy when we first got on court. Ammaar was impressive in the warm up with his serving and when he took the very first game by breaking my serve, I’m not going to lie I got a bit nervous. Ammaar struggles to hold serve in the first set but that was definately rectified in the second set. Ammaar took the first game of the second set again and went 3-1 up I managed to pull it back and went 5-4 up for Ammaar to start serving how he did in the warm up lol, just a little unlucky in the tie break but I was set for a decider. Great match with a great guy well played and good luck in your remaining matches" -- Aaron
Reveal CommentOwain Ford bt Lin Chen (Oct 25) 7-5, 7-6 (7-0)
Player Comments:
- "This was exactly like a Chen Vs Owain encounter. Loads of great hitting, defence, and short ball tennis. He had me stuck in the mud at 1-4 in the first and I really had to dig deep to bring it back level. I suddenly found my stride and took the first set, only for Chen to bring it back to 5-5 (as I’d done in the first set) when I was 4-1 up in the second. This one went to a tiebreak and luckily I took an early lead and manage to hold on to it to see the match out as the heavens open and soaked us both. Always a pleasure playing you mate, we have some great battles and I look forward to the next one. " -- Owain
Reveal CommentOwain Ford bt Ammaar Dana (Oct 20) 6-2, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Unfortunately Leicester City Council have decided to make these courts membership only, £42 for the year and £6 per hourly booking. This is such a shame. Anyway, to the tennis. Amaar is a lovely bloke, another fair player, a credit to the league. We spoke of all things Covid during change overs and discussed how our lives have changed in these weird times. Amaar has a lot of power and when he gets his match play more regular will be a force in this league. It was a great tussle and the score doesn’t reflect how close the games were, lots of deuce games. Thanks for the match mate and good luck with your next ones. " -- Owain
Reveal CommentOwain Ford bt Shuaib Variava (Oct 18) 4-6, 6-4, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "My back is screaming at me after this marathon of a match. Loads of rallies and great attacking tennis, along with great defensive work from both players. A high quality match which made the unforced errors even more frustrating. Each set was a similar story really. I was 4-2, 5-1, and 5-2 up in each, respectively, close games all, only for the momentum to swing towards Shuaib who came back in the first to win it and scared the hell out of me that he was going to do the same in the others. I managed to slightly change tactics in the second set by forcing my way in when the opportunity came. Shuaib’s forehand had me pegged back all the time. Great match mate. Good luck for your next one. I’ll sleep well tonight. " -- Owain

Player Comments:
- "Always a great game against Lin and for the first time I managed to get the upper hand - some really good tennis all round with much more consistent hitting than our previous encounters - Lin hit some outstanding lobs to go a break up, serving at 5-4 for the set - I somehow managed to break back and take the set - I think every game in the second set then felt like it went to Deuce with some high quality hitting - great game thoroughly enjoyable as always!" -- Joseph

Set 2 was a replica of the first but vice verse I took a 5-1 lead. All to play for in the decider I broke straight away but then joe broke back I was all set for a tie break to be honest and joe managed to save about 16 match points but a backhand down the line clinched it.

That spurred me on in the second and third set and with a change of racquet I managed to hit the court more and find my rhythm a little better.

Second set Lin changed it up a bit and I was making more mistakes so he took it easily then at one set all he had a toilet break which seemed to be his downfall as he lost the first 12 points of the decider with a 3-0 lead I felt good and took it after Lin double faulted on match point.
