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.
