Player Comments:
- "What a crazy and tough match, with so many swings of momentum. A proper battle with bloody knee and elbow! Early on in the first I was error prone and gave away many points, with Dan getting ahead by two breaks of serve. Somehow I managed to tighten up my game and claw back step by step, completing a great comeback from 2*-5 to 7:5. My momentum continued into the 2nd set, where it was my turn to get ahead by two breaks. Dan mounted his comeback to lead 5:4. I had one more good chance when serving for the match at 6*-5 - again Dan came back and then played a strrong tie break to take the 2nd set. Another swing of momentum came when I played good early points in the match tie break and got a strong lead to 7:0. Thanks for the battle Dan!" -- Pawel
Player Comments:
- "Really tight first set that almost went down to the wire, with only one break. Skiddy and surprisngly warm conditions. Thanks for coming over to Abercorn Seb" -- Daniel
Player Comments:
- "First match after a while and straight onto damp and skiddy courts at Merchiston club. I really struggled early on in the first set, going down one break to 0:3, then all the way to 3:5 with Matt serving for set. I was able to tighten up my game and came back to take the set 7:5. In the second I was off to a good start, breaking to start and getting to 2:0 lead, only to lose the momentum and let Matt even it and then get ahead to 3:2. We've had period of no or short rallies thanks to good serving, and then some tough games with punishing and tactical rallies. Luckily I was able to play more solid tennis from that point and just managed to make the important points go my way and take the second set 6:3. Thanks for the match Matt! " -- Pawel
Player Comments:
- "Fun match with Daniel at Abercorn on a nice night for tennis. A lot of long deuce points and close games . Daniel has a dangerous slice serve that I had to just chip or slice back, getting some fortunate bounce in turn. I was luckier with the lines tonight as well. Thanks Daniel for hosting me; hope to play again and best wishes the rest of your matches. " -- John
Player Comments:
- "Another great match with Seb on a nice morning at the Meadows. Both sets were really close with the majority of games going to deuce. Seb really deserved the second set; I was able to survive down 1-5 and pull out a comeback. Thanks Seb and best wishes with the rest of your matches." -- John
