We were pleased to welcome 3 new league players as well as several returners this time around, making for a good mix of old and new. Five of you showed great scheduling skills to earn the midway bonus points and help yourselves up the leader table, and the match commentaries reveal a range of playing styles and shot making. Thanks for taking part and we hope to see you all back in the next round!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to returning league player Kshitij for winning the group in commanding style, powering his way to 7 matches and finishing 2 points clear of runner up Elliot. Elliot commented on the power and consistency of Kshitij's shots in their head to head, which Gary tried to counter with slice drop shots. Kshitij commented on Prem's great court coverage while Elliot noted the consistency of Gary's forehand. So all in all some great tennis across the group!
