Player Comments:

  • "It was a closer match than the score suggests with some long rallies and incredible shots from both of us ! We were serving well yet managed to keep breaking each others serve upto 3-2 to me, but then I held serve and got a 4-2 lead. Finally the set closed at 6-3. The next set the wind had picked up but inspite of that the first game involved a lot of running- a game that exhausted both of us and led to a lot of double faults in the games that followed. Having got ahead, i held on and eventually came out with a 6-1 set win. Well played Alex. It was a great game and the more games you play, the more you are going to be a great challenger in this tennis league. Look forward to the next one."  -- Tim

Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Mark Parry-Shovlin (May 6) 6-2, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "At 2-2 in the first set the key was probably who would break the other person's serve first. A close game of a few deuces resulted in me getting the break and then later a second break, taking the set 6-2. The second set followed a similar pattern and with Mark's serve being more consistent and powerful it was again a question of who might be broken first. Then with the score in games at 2-2 I again got the crucial break and advantage, finally again winning 6-2. Great game and well played Mark. Good luck with your future matches"  -- Tim

Reveal CommentTim Ettrick bt Sanoj Lutchman (May 1) 6-2, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "A good close match. The first set was influenced by the setting sun a lot and rather than trying to break each other's serve we were trying to win games with the sun our eyes. Fortunately I got an early advantage to go 3-2 up when I had just faced the sun- a big advantage . I then took the set 6-2. The second set was fortunately without any effects of the sun . At 1-1 , a close third game went to several deuces, several advantages to both us. Finally getting the break in that game gave me an advantage. Nevertheless we both battled on through the set till I won 6-2. Well played Sanoj. Great to meet you. I look forward to future matches."  -- Tim
