Collapse AllLichfield and Burntwood Singles - Round 15 | Friday 21 August 2020 to Wednesday 14 October 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 16 September 2020)

It was great to see friendly, competitive tennis return to the courts of Lichfield & Burntwood after a longish gap and although there was just one group there were lots of fun and entertaining matches. Thanks for your enthusiasm playing four fifths of all possible matches, and let's hope there's not such a long wait til the next round!

Group Summary:

There was a new champ in Group 1 with Souleymane's run of 4 wins without defeat seeing him top the table ahead of runner up David B, while David B was "given the run around" by Phil but managed to win in 3 sets. Meanwhile David S dug in to stave off a third set against Hywel "on great new courts in sunshine in Lichfield"... well played!
