Collapse AllLincoln's Inn Singles - Round 20 | Thursday 12 January 2017 to Wednesday 8 March 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 8 February 2017)

Thanks everyone who got involved this round, and we hope you enjoyed it - when players did get matches in, more often than not it was a highly competitive affair. Just a shame there weren't more of them in some cases!

Group Summary:

Spactacular round from Jason, who takes the gold with no fewer than 7 wins, usurping previous group winner Luiz, who takes the silver. Special mention to Joseba too, who found himself with an injury after his first match, ending on a cliffhanger at 5-4 in the 3rd set against Jason! Well played all.
