It was great to welcome 3 new players and 4 players making their Lincoln's Inn debuts this round, giving us 2 groups and lots of close and exciting matches across the board! Well done for dusting off your rackets post-lockdown and all matches bar one were played which is a great effort. Thank you for supporting your local league and it would be fantastic to see you all back in the next round!

Group Summary:

Our group champ Adam and runner up Austin both had successful debuts in Lincoln's Inn Tennis League winning 4 and 3 matches respectively and being the only players to earn midway bonus points for early match scheduling. Austin got off to a great start in their head to head going a set up but Adam staged a comeback to win in 3 sets, in what was the group's only 3 setter. Philip and Benjamin both kept their matches close against Austin while sadly Matthias and Philip ran out of time to complete their match.
