Player Comments:
- "Tough match, Rad’s leftie serve was very effective." -- Christopher
Player Comments:
- "An incredibly tough match played in what can only be described as extreme conditions...! Sideways rain and gusty winds made it very difficult to play solid tennis. In the end I was able recover mentally and play better in key points in the third set. Thank you for the match Pawel and hope to play you soon when your should is back to 100%" -- Pawel
Player Comments:
- "Good conditions for tennis, happy to get the win against a guy that hits the ball so well." -- Christopher
Player Comments:
- "Epic match with Pawel on a nice night for tennis at Murrayfield. Pawel had crushed me last round at his home court at Thistle so I needed to get my revenge on my familiar surface ... Every set was very close and could have gone either way. The first set went back and forth - Pawel came back from 3-5 down and won the tiebreak with two beautiful winners. The second set was another close affair. We both held serve almost the whole way; I got one break for the difference. Pawel got off to a quick start in the deciding set. I was able to get a break in the fourth game after several deuce points, and I was helped along with some (un)fortunate luck with the net tape. Many thanks Pawel; hope to play again soon, and best wishes with your matches. " -- John
Player Comments:
- "Excellent match with Radoslav on a nice morning for tennis. Very close sets that could have gone either way. The second set was full of very long rallies and close games. Radoslav fought off multiple match points as I could not put him away. I finally pulled through in the tiebreak thanks to a couple very lucky shots .. Thanks Radoslav, hope to play again soon, and best wishes with the rest of the your matches. " -- John
Player Comments:
- "Great match with Chris in windy but playable conditions. First set was close; Chris has a devastating slice shot that really wore me down. In the second set, Chris upped his serve and his overall game for a well-deserved victory. Chris made very few errors and really optimized the conditions and surface. Thanks Chris, best wishes with the rest of your matches. " -- John

Player Comments:
- "Tough to play under the wet weather, both kudos to Freddie and I as we braved he harsh conditions to make sure the match was played.. cheers Freddie." -- Emmanuel
Player Comments:
- "It was a really enjoyable game with Andrew. Unfortunately for Andrew, I think I played some of the better tennis I've played so far this league. Nonetheless, there were a few moments in the match where it felt like it was going to go either way. I enjoyed playing at Andrew's club, the surface was fun to play on, and thanks to Andrew for organising and for the great sportsmanship. " -- Nicholas
Player Comments:
- "We braved the Scottish weather which was tame enough for a solid game of tennis. With courts slightly wet I managed to utilise some skidding slices in the wind which proved to be effective to draw some errors. I was lucky Harry hasn't being playing much as he has a reliable serve and forehand which would cause damage on his day! Best of luck in your future games!" -- Cameron
Player Comments:
- "Great night for tennis on the Lano Clay surface. From the start Andrew and I were battling through some long deuce games that kept the momentum on edge throughout. In set 1 & 2 the pattern emerged where the early games went my way by sealing some crucial points with the forehand. Andrew resisted and was channeling the tennis legend with the same name by throwing lobs over my head landing near the lines! A close match and thanks to Andrew for hosting! " -- Cameron
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable day for tennis, no wind and nice hard courts. The first set was close, thanks to some shots on the line I managed to win some deuce games and hold serve. The second set, Filip mounted a comeback from 5-2 to 5-4 and was taking the momentum. Thanks to some good first serves and a Djokovic-esque ;) passing shot I managed to seal the second set. Well played and best of luck for the future matches I am sure you will do well!" -- Cameron
Player Comments:
- "Fun match on a chilly evening. Freddie had some great cross court winners and there were lots of deuce battles. Good luck in the rest of the competition Freddie. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "Nice game of tennis on Lano clay surface. A little windy at the beginning but yea nice stuff from Andrew and I" -- Emmanuel
Player Comments:
- "Well played from Nick at the meadows. Smart net play, dispatching most of my dropshots and the odd lob that came his way too! Consistency in the longer rallies served him well :)" -- Frederick
Player Comments:
- "I enjoyed the match with Freddie. We had some close games in the match but I managed to use a variety of spins on an unfamiliar surface to prevail. I look forward to a hit in the future and best of luck with the rest of your matches. " -- Cameron
Player Comments:
- "A long and tiring Match I must say. Cheers to Phillip, he played fantastically well. . I wish you luck in the remaining of your matches." -- Emmanuel

Player Comments:
- "Beautiful game of tennis between Cameron and I. Best of luck in the remainder of your matches. Cheers." -- Emmanuel

Player Comments:
- "A fun match played in the sun at the meadows! Lots of close games with multiple deuces. " -- Ronan
Player Comments:
- "First singles match for a while for both of us. David started brilliantly, hitting deep and forcing lots of errors from me to win the first set. Although the next two sets didn't feel that different - and certainly felt closer than the scoreline suggested - I think his error count crept up and mine reduced. Thanks for the game David and good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Simon

- "A chilly and windy Friday evening at the meadows, not exactly conditions for the best tennis but we tried. Thanks for the match. " -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Such a tight first set! Long rallies and many deuces. I managed to clinch it in the end and that set me up well for the 2nd set. Although, a shaky start at 0-40 in the first game of the 2nd set, I managed to regain concentration and take the game. I adjusted my game and became more tactical in the 2nd set, managing to win the big points. Bart served some very nice serves in the first set but lost some consistency and the match went on. The 2nd set also had many long rallies, which isn't reflected in the scoreline. Thanks for the game. Looking forward to the next one!" -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "A very pleasant morning for tennis in the meadows. Plenty good rallies had, the score doesn't quite reflect the play. Good luck with the rest of the league." -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "I got off to a good start and tried my best to keep the momentum on my side. I was leading the second set 4-2, as I was getting comfortable, Alfredo brought his game to a higher level and took the lead at 5-4 . I mustered the remaining energy I had to fight back and avoid a third set. So many deuces throughout the game! Looking forward to the next one. " -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "Helen and I had a good friendly fight to finish, we were both tired towards the end but Helen kept on pushing relentlessly, unfortunately I took it this time. I will love to play again, Goodluck in coming games" -- Azeez
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable game with Hedda on a busy, sunny Sunday at the meadows (we queued for 15 mins). Some really good rallies and great net game from Hedda. Glad we managed to play. Thanks. All the best with the rest of your games :-) " -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "A lovely morning at the meadows. Azeez wasn't very familiar with the court surface so took a wee while to get into the match but if we were to play again here I am sure the score would be far closer. " -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Really fun match played in late hours of day, we rallied few points out but I managed to be lucky this time. Goodluck Alfredo in coming matches " -- Azeez
Player Comments:
- "We managed to find a gap in the wind and rain of recent weeks to get this match played. Bart's serve has a lot of potential and at times came over with a great deal of pace. The match wasn't as one-sided as the score may suggest, plenty good rallies and shots on show. " -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Played in a cold, chilled weather, Bart has a great left forehand, and when the first serves gets in, they were always explosive. I managed to win both set and enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you Bart and good luck in coming games." -- Azeez
