- "Great match today with Rad. When he joined me on court just after 1pm, I did not think we would be leaving 3 hours later! First 2 sets, we both had a run of games to win the set. Final set was epic, over an hour long and I thought I was done for at 5-2 down but somehow managed to come back and win. Thanks for the match Rad, it was a pleasure to meet and play you for the first time. And once again, apologies for the FIVE dead net cords over the course of the match. " -- Lee

Player Comments:
- "Great game with Ruth. I started the game energised and focused, while Ruth took a while longer to warmup. Ruth came back strong in the second set with some nice serves and attacking net play. Ruth was taking the lead 5-2, when I suddenly realised the thought of a third set wasn’t for me that day! I fought back and we reached a tiebreak. A super close, nerve-wracking tie break, which I just managed to clinch - with the help of some long deep breaths in between points. Always a fun match Ruth, thanks! " -- Helen
