Player Comments:
- "It was lovely to meet and to have a hit with Liam. The score just doesn’t reflect the close games we had. Liam’s technically very good and he’s also great at getting to a ball; So a tough but really enjoyable set of tennis" -- Michael
Player Comments:
- "Another gruelling match with Ruben. He doesn't know the meaning of the word quit. He endeavours to get every ball back in play and he can stretch to the ball and just have enough control to land the ball back in court. This match lasted a solid 3 hours. Ruben was a set and 3-1, 4-2, when i changed my mindset. It was time to play no miss Tennis and not go for so much. The deciding set Ruben was up a break up, but i felt i knew what i had to do when the going got tough. I got 5-4 up and 3 match points 0-40, when i thought I've won. I was wrong and Ruben came back won that game, but i won the next 2 games to claim the match. Fantastic tussle" -- Danny
Player Comments:
- "Good honest game with Liam, like other meetings. I lost my way in the 2nd set, due to a player next door on court talking out loud non-stop. It was relentless. Even when the ball was in mid flight. Ha. After a respectful word, things settled down and i managed to get my sang-froid back and claim the victory. April has been the weather for Tennis and this match was no different." -- Danny
Player Comments:
- "Great game with Emma. Lots of long points and games and both hit some nice winners. Look forward to the next one!" -- Liam
Player Comments:
- "Brilliant game with Rob with lots of long games. Looking forward to our next match." -- Emma
Player Comments:
- "Win or lose, I always enjoy playing Rob, and at the end of our matches I feel like I’ve been through something between a triathlon and a chess match. Rob varies his shots, and plays a strategic game, as well as having an incredible ability to cover the surface of the court. He is hard on himself though, and occasionally this can give me an advantage. Very happy to have got the win this time, as he pummelled me at our last encounter." -- Michael
Player Comments:
- "As always I had a great time playing with Emma, who’s such a skilled tennis player. We didn’t have enough time to complete our match but sure enough we will be playing together again soon." -- Michael

She can play at the back of the court and at the net with ease and confidence. All of these elements taken together mean that she is a very hard component to play, when you are a beginner like me :) " -- Corina

Corina was 3-1 up and I managed to draw level at 4-4. Pushed it to 5-5 and held my nerve to finally close the set at 7-5! They were great rallies using all corners of the court, making a good cardio workout!!! Good luck for the rest of your matches Corina!!!" -- Benjamin
