Collapse AllMeadows, Edinburgh Singles - Round 45 | Thursday 12 April 2018 to Wednesday 6 June 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 9 May 2018)
Some quality tennis was played this round with a superb effort put in by players to arrange matches and earn bonus points. It's great to see the groups welcoming new and returning players so well and that everyone has been making the most of the sun where they can! A highlight from this round comes from Chris who described his match against another Chris as "without a doubt the most enjoyable match I've played with the Meadows League so far". Here's to many more, and they don't have to include a Chris!
Group Summary:
First place was a close affair between Kevin and Adam E who finished with just the one point separating them but Kevin clinched the head to head win in close three-setter and despite playing fewer matches, edged ahead and ended up unbeaten in the round. This was his returning round to the league so a great comeback. Well done to Adam E who came in a very close second after playing 6 matches, more than any other in the group. This round we welcomed back Milo who enjoyed a "hard fought match in perfect weather" with Daniel and also welcome back Patrick who took a set off Adam E in their match and had a "neck and neck" tie break. A warm welcome to Daniel who had a great game with Patrick which he partly lost due to Patrick's "better night vision"! We hope the lighter evenings will help everyone with organising matches for the coming round.

Group Summary:
A huge well done to Guillaume who was the only undefeated player of the group after winning all 6 of the matches that he played! He enjoyed some close matches and made the most of the weather with a "tropical 17 degrees on the court" in his match against Callum. Harry came in second with an 80% win rate after a tight match against Guillaume. The top four players in the group this round earned themselves their bonus points so well done for that extra effort put in to organise matches early! A warm welcome to Ashley in her debut round whose "technically impressive game will become a danger for mankind" according to Guillaume! Welcome back to Piotr, Garry and Andrea who all returned after a break in the leagues, we hope you enjoyed your round and will come back for many more!

Player Comments:
- "Garry was doing his comeback and took a set before to wake up. Fortunately, I served well in the second to win the match; it was really becoming even at the end! Usual Scottish weather standard (nice and warm), compared to the rainy South of Europe these days." -- Guillaume
Player Comments:
- "Ashley doing her comeback, I was lucky to get a lot of free points on unforced errors. Her technically impressive game will become a danger for the mankind once she finds back her consistency. Great weather and busy courts, we could finish our match just in time before to have to leave." -- Guillaume
Player Comments:

I was in command of the decider at 5-1 but she launched another comeback, nearly leveling at 5-5, before I just managed to hold out. Thanks Andrea - hope to play again soon!" -- Callum
Player Comments:
- "Tight match. Harry gave me the two sets on double faults and unforced errors at the wrong time for him, otherwise the score could have been the same, but the other way around." -- Guillaume
Group Summary:
Doug took top spot in the group with 5 wins from his 6 matches as well as earning his bonus points along the way - congratulations! Owen was returning to the league this round and took second place whilst being the only player to be undefeated. A special mention to Frank who was the only other person than our champ to earn his bonus points for superb scheduling skills in his comeback round to the league. Welcome back also to Matthew who came in third place and "made it extremely difficult" for Doug during their match where he was "covering the court brilliantly despite the slippy conditions". Welcome to Michelle who "battled out a very competitive match" against Frank and is also a very welcome addition to the group!

- "A good hard hitting game played in much cooler conditions suddenly. Des was not in top form but we still enjoyed some good rallies and any time I allowed him into the net I seemed to get punished. I was on my 5th day playing in a row though and found consistency and my first ace in an age! Thanks again Des. " -- Doug
Player Comments:
- "TBC on Monday" -- Des
Player Comments:
- "The score certainly doesn't reflect how it felt with David pressurising the net well and often. His error count was quite highthough and I had more confidence in my serve and backhand having come fresh from some coaching yesterday. All in all, much fun in the welcome sun!" -- Doug

- "Great match! Thanks Michelle :)" -- Matthew
Player Comments:
- "On yet another hot sunny Edinburgh day (yes 2 days in a row), Michelle and I battled out a very competitive match. Michelle admitted herself the 6-1 scoreline in the first set was her own fault, due to her alcohol consumption the night before. However as the alcohol slowly drifted from her body, she showed her true tennis abilities in the 2nd set with some great shots to put me in my place. Michelle went 5-1 up in the second set, so at this stage, I had a wee word with myself and managed to pull it back to 5-5, before I won the final 2 games to make it 7-5. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this match. Thanks Michelle. " -- Frank
Player Comments:
- "It's been about 3 years since I last played Frank and good to know I have improved since then. I lost my first service game in both sets due to some good, aggressive play from Frank and a bit of tentative play from me. Two aces in a row from Frank in the 4th game made it seem like it might not go my way! But after that I settled down. We had some lovely, long rallies in the sun, with honours even on those I think. I was pleased to hit the corners a few times and put away a few volleys so overall a good match for me despite Frank's resistance and the multiple deuces!" -- Doug
Player Comments:
- "Great game on a warm sunny day. " -- Frank
Player Comments:
- "A definite tale of two ... well not exactly halves! We started on Saturday morning optimistically expecting the showers to pass. They didn't! With Matt hitting everything back and covering the court brilliantly despite the slippy conditions I suggested he try to serve it out at 5-3, despite it tipping it down. He didn't and we called it a day. Typically Scottish tennis! We came back tonight. Blazing sun, cloudless sky, no breeze. Ridiculous! Matt was suffering from two days inside sitting, listening to lectures. His energy was a bit low and he was probably a bit de-hydrated. He still made it extremely difficult for me! Tricky match, lots of long rallies, and a lesson in staying patient. Excellent fun. Thanks!" -- Doug
Player Comments:
- "Glorious and hot day for the first match of the league and what a great match to start with. We had many lung-busting base-line rallies and lovely points. If we'd had to do more of those I'm not sure I would have lasted so I was particularly pleased when I pulled off some lovely serve volley combos. Very enjoyable and competitive match, thanks!" -- Doug
Group Summary:
Lee leapt into first place with an unbeatable score of 7 wins out of 7 matches played and was also the only undefeated player in the group. Second place was a close contest between Alan and David who finished on the same number of points. So we look to their head to head to determine who is awarded second place. They enjoyed a good game with "lots of great rallies" but in the end it was Alan who won their match and therefore the second place spot - congratulations! A special mention to David, Steve and Sivaraj who all earned their bonus points for their strong organising skills. There were some really lovely match comments left this round; it's clearly a great group to be in!

Player Comments:
- "This was the final showdown match for both Steve an myself. Steve had been laid low with some man-flu last week but he seemed to have recovered rather well. Now that I think about it and how he played....was that just a ruse? Anyway, a close fought match with plenty of long but varied rallies, and not too many unforced errors on either side. Steve started off well by taking the first two games in the first set but somehow I managed to wrestle it back to 3-all and then dug in for the rest of the set. Only a tad easier in the second set and I only just managed to get to the victory line as my usual second set mental and physical crisis was coming on. Good game. " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Jonathan not in his best form for this match and the score reflected it. On other occasions I have collapsed under a heap of un-forced and forced errors when he has run down every ball so I still didn't relax till I was 4-0 up in the second! I had my usual mid-second set mental and physical crisis and Jonathan nearly got a game on the board, but his error count was too much today." -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "This was effectively a group decider and both of us were unbeaten so I was expecting a tough match. Alan started the better and I was playing catch up after an early break. Having reached parity at 5-5 it was frustrating to then lose the set. Second set was a reversal with me getting the early break and I managed to secure a double break later in the set to take the match to a decider. Standard of play was high in the first 2 sets, generally it was me dictating play and Alan retrieving everything, including some that he had no right to get to! Final set was hard work, after nearly 2 hours of play and almost every game going to deuce we didn't have much left. Somehow I managed to crawl over the line but it could have gone either way. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "A close two-set match with lots of deuces in the eerie evening night of the Meadows." -- David
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match with Sivaraj on a lovely bank holiday morning. Lots of good rallies and did not feel like a 6-2 6-0 match. Particularly when Siv's forehand kept whizzing past me! Thanks for the match and look forward to playing again. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Fantastic match. I managed to fightback from jaws of defeat. Most enjoyable game for a long time. Thanks Matt" -- Alan
Player Comments:
- "Seemed like a quick game compared to other matches I’ve played. Jonathan, by his own admission, didn't play well. Combined with an uncharacteristicly energetic performance by myself with a variety of big base line shots, good net play and (for me) some good court coverage. Anyone who knows me as a player would have suspected that some illegal performance enhancer was involved!..... I assure you it’s probably just coffee and the spell of good weather that’s put a spring in my step. Thanks for the game J - good luck with your remaining matches. " -- Steve
Player Comments:
- "Good match with David, first 2 sets in particular was largely decided by serving. Mine went off a bit in the second set and David played a great set to take it to a decider. Luckily for me I got off to a good start with an early break as I think David's intensity dropped a bit and followed up with another break soon after. Tough match and happy to get the win. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Mammoth match in the searing heat. Great game and lots of good rallies. Thanks Jonathan" -- Alan
Player Comments:
- "Good match with Matt on another warm meadows evening. Matt started the better with barely any errors and I found myself down a couple of breaks without playing particularly bad. I somehow managed to turn it around with a mix of better play and a few errors from Matt. Second set I got off to a good start and Matt by his own admission was feeling a lack of match fitness although he still made me work hard to close out the win. Cheers for the game Matt and hope to play again! " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Great game on very hot day. Lots of close games going to deuce. Thanks Colin" -- Alan
Player Comments:
- "Beautiful sunny morning for our early Saturday start. First set not quite as comfortable as the score would suggest - 2nd set anything but comfortable with Siv refusing to make life easy for me with some very clean forehand winners. Much relief all round that the match didn’t go to a third set. Thanks for a great game Siv." -- Steve
Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable match with Jonathan on a hot meadows day. First set was closer than score suggests and second set was tight at 3-3 before I was able to close it out. Both struggled for consistency but there were some great winners on both sides too. Look forward to playing you again Jonathan. " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "I started well getting the first 3 games and then Siv's forehand kicked in and he brought it back for me just to keep my nose ahead at 4-3. He made me work for my last two games and I was pretty knackered at the end of the first set (first competitive singles match of the season is always a cardiac arrest job for me). However, for the second set I adjusted a couple of things with my game and my unforced error count went down and Siv's went up. Lovely sunny evening to be on court in the Meadows. " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Beautiful morning at the meadows for tennis today. A fun and enjoyable match with Colin with some good rallies. Hope to play again soon! " -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "A good match with some long rallies. I managed to get on a bit of a roll in the first set to open up a 5-1 lead after being broken in the first game.

Group Summary:
First place goes to Philippe in his debut round - the only player to be undefeated in the group, winning 6 of the 6 matches that he played! Second place was a very close battle between Ludovic, returning to the league after a break and Chris R who both finished on the same number of points; after looking to their head to head, a close and exhausting three setter in which Chris R clinched the win, we have our answer! There were lots of three set matches played this round, and it's great to see that huge effort put in to get the matches completed! We also welcome Dominic in his debut round who played a "very enjoyable game with plenty of deuces and rallies" against our champ - we hope you enjoyed your first round!

- "Another very tight match that I was unable to close out-- serve consistency on both sides was wild and I in particular seemed to alternate between service games where my serves went totally unreturned, and games where I made 3 double faults...

Group Summary:
Rokas stormed the group, playing every possible match and winning every single one! He was the only undefeated player in the group too so well done on a fantastic comeback round to the league after a break.

This group made a brilliant effort to earn their bonus points so a huge well done for your superior scheduling and for making that extra effort to meet other players. This round we welcome Andy who had a "great game with some really long rallies and a few epic shots" with Lindsay. Welcome back also to Linda and Daniel, we hope you enjoyed your comeback round!
