Collapse AllManchester Parks Singles - Round 22 | Thursday 20 February 2020 to Wednesday 15 April 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 18 March 2020)
Manchester always puts in a fine performance and this round was no exception. It's just a shame the round had to be cut short. We hope the break is not for too long and look forward to seeing everyone back on court!
Group Summary:
A fantastic group with a very high percentage of matches played and everyone got their bonus points except Peter who had to withdraw. The new champ Nick played every possible match which was just as well as Rodrigo was hot on his heels and beat him in their head to head ('Good match in windy conditions. Always a pleasure to play Nick' ). But Rodrigo stopped at 4 matches and Nick played 6 so managed to overtake him. Simon had the bad luck to encounter Nick when he was playing 'the best I've played in ages and certainly in the league so far' but as Nick says, 'credit to Simon for sticking with it even though the games were all going my way'! Congrats to the champ and well played all.

Player Comments:
- "Nick played very well!" -- Simon
- "This was the best I've played in ages, and certainly in the league so far. There were lots of deuces and some excellent rallies. Credit to Simon for sticking at it even though the games were all going my way. We played two more sets afterwards," -- Nick
Player Comments:
- "Thanks Rob for an excellent long close hard fought match. We were on court for 3.5 hours, and the match lasted about 3 hours. Lots of good attacking and defensive tennis, lots of baseline and net play, lots of rallies. Good cardio and endurance workout, good value for money." -- Rob
Player Comments:
- "Good Close match thanks Richard. It’s an uneven group. I lost badly against Nick Lote, and Nick lost badly against Rodrigo. I also lost badly against Simon but last might I beat James and James beat Simon. Not good being crushed so good to play some good close matches against James and Richard and hopefully also against the other Rob Topping tomorrow. I wasn’t expecting to win any matches so perhaps the serious defeats v Rodrigo & Nick has taught me something, or perhaps doing a lot of running in the last two weeks has improved my fitness.

Group Summary:
Not quite such an active group as group one but all credit to Richard who played 5 matches (which was more than anyone else) and got his bonus points. It is often the case that the person who does this wins the group and so it proved here with Richard finishing in pole position, and Alhadi being runner up, just one point behind. Well played!

Group Summary:
Returning to the group after a short break, Billy is the very convincing winner, playing more matches than anyone, winning 4 of them and getting his bonus points! His fifth match (against Callum) had to be left unfinished when they rain out of court time and had to leave it poised at 6-7 (3-7), 6-1, [6-3]!

Group Summary:
A tie at the top on points with Stephen and Bradley both finishing on 8 points, 3 wins & one loss and their bonus points! Fortunately, we can separate them as they played each other and as Stephen won (on a court he said favoured his slices over Bradley's groundstrokes) he tops the group. Well done to Michael for beating the champ, and congrats to Stephen!

Group Summary:
It's always interesting to know what makes the difference in a close match and in the hard fought game between Stephen and Raul, Stephen says it was holding his nerve in the first set tie break and getting a key break in the last game in set two. It was one of four matches he won which lobs him to the top of this group, in which Tiago was runner up. Well played! UPDATE ++ A couple of later reported matches by Stephen W gives him, by a whisker, the silver!

Group Summary:
Alia, John and Richard all tied on 8 points at the top of this group, so we have to dig a little deeper to separate them. Richard lost to both Alia and John so he takes third place, and John lost more sets per matches played than Alia. So Alia is the champ and John the runner up.

Group Summary:
Another tie at the top, and again it was decided by the head to head and as Patricio beat Martyn he tops the group. But well done to Chibuike who beat the champ despite Patricio's speed and 'dangerous slices', and a shame he had to stop after only two matches.

Collapse AllManchester Parks Doubles - Round 5 | Thursday 22 August 2019 to Wednesday 30 October 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 25 September 2019)
To get more than three quarters of matches set up and played in doubles (with four diaries to juggle ... never easy) is quite an achievement. And these were impressive, action packed matches. Thanks so much for making it such a good round. Let's do it all again in the New Year!
Group Summary:
All but two matches played in Group One which is a brilliant achievement! Just as pleasing are the generous and supportive commentaries which really bring it all to life. The stand out team was Faiz & Callum who played and won all their matches but there were some tough encounters along the way, not least of which was the dramatic three-setter with Daniel and Tom. In the end Daniel and Tom have to settle for third place with Andrew and Martin avenging their defeat to the pair (another great match) by adding bonus points to earn the silver.

Almost every point had to be ground out with long, long rallies and deuce after deuce - and some very impressive returns of service!

- "Good match, even if we were second best! " -- Stephen
Player Comments:
- "Mark and David made us run a lot. Some very close games and fun rallies! It was really enjoyable and we continued playing afterwards. Thanks guys! " -- Tiago
Player Comments:
- "One of the most enjoyable doubles games in a long time. Lots of long rallies with great shots from all players. Second set virtually every game went to deuce, meaning the floodlights went off in the 3rd set with the score appropriately even at 4-4. Well played guys." -- Stephen
Player Comments:
- "On paper a straight forward win - far from it and I knew this would be the case as I’ve played against Billy before. 2 very close sets that could have gone either way. I think if they were to do doubles again they would win a few games for sure. We even did a 3rd set that was tied at 5-5 when the lights went out. Well played, guys " -- Callum
Player Comments:
- "Good game, cheers lads." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "The game was much closer than the scoreline suggests and included some of the best serves and ground strokes we’ve encountered. The court we had booked was closed due to a problem with the security door so we had to book another court a few miles away. Tiago & Billy - thanks for an enjoyable and friendly game – and good luck with your remaining matches." -- Martin

Player Comments:
- "We last met in the doubles tournament when we were both in Group 2. This was a thoroughly enjoyable match against two good players. We’ll definitely play again outside the tournament. The match had many deuces, some very long, hard-fought rallies with a good many recovery shots that no-one had the right to get back over the net. And Andrew and I had a couple of lucky net calls at critical points in each set. Thanks Mark and David for a super-friendly and super-competitive match – and good luck with your remaining games in the doubles and singles." -- Martin

Group Summary:
This really close group was decided by a single point, a point earned in an unfinished match between Victoria & Thomas and Francesco & Anuraag. It looked like that was shaping up to be a classic so if a single-set shoot-out has to decide the group winner this was a pretty good one! Well played to both teams on your excellent rounds.
