Player Comments:
- "An eventful start as we had to melt ice from the back of the court using boiling water. The match itself was a tight contest with lots of long rallies, as me and Lee's matches always seem to be. I rode my luck at times but eventually pulled through." -- Callum

Reveal CommentPawel Milto bt Oluwatosin Ige (Feb 20) 5-7, 6-4, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "A very very tough match in gusty conditions. Getting past Tosin's defence is most of the time impossible! In the first the momentum was changing frequently. I was able to pull back from a break down and have a chance to serve for the set at 5:4, but couldn't convert and Tosin played very well to win the 1st set 7:5. In the second set I had to come back from behind, but this time I've manged to secure the set 6:4. After a lot of running, some crazy rallies in swirling wind, I was able to play much more solid tennis and take the deciding set. Thank you for the match Tosin!" -- Pawel

Player Comments:
- "Really close match . It could go either way despite the score in second and third set . We had some great rallies and most importantly we had a game at 2-1 in second set where I think we have done something like 20 duces and I’ve saved 8 break points . Probably that was the turning point in the match . Thanks for your hospitality Tosin and I hope we will have another chance in the future. " -- Radoslav

Unfortunately for Callum at 30-40 he run to a short ball down the line leading to his knee injury. Hope you are well and wish you fast recovery ! Thanks for the competitive game !!" -- Radoslav

Player Comments:
- "As seasoned Edinburgh types Keirh and I were not out off by a bad forecast and ended up playing through only very light rain for 2/3 of the match also with no wind or sun to contend with and helped helped by Priestfield all weather courts. I noticed Keith was hitting well in warm up so went out aiming to play my game and hit a lot of winners alongside unforced errors and with an on and off first serve Definitely the closest and best match for a while cs Krith. .

First set was a lot closer than the score suggests with most games going to deuce. Katie’s serve picked up in the second set and I trailed by a break until I managed to claw things back. Some really enjoyable rallies and very easy chat. Thanks for the game!" -- Chris

Player Comments:
- "A 2-hour battle, that was! Both of us had our share of sun-blindness, but otherwise great conditions. As the match progressed we seemed to become more and more tuned-in to each other's style of play, as our games took longer and longer and every other game went to deuce. The experience was thoroughly enjoyable, exhausting (to the point where we were forgetting not just the score and serving sides), and a great learning experience for, I hope, both of us." -- Liam
