- "Nice to post a victory at last! Feeling much better than last week I put on a solid performance against Wayne. Our matches are always entertaining and there was some good rallies as usual. The wind wasn’t kind to us both as it held the ball up a number of times during rallies. My drop shot was particularly effective today and I had a number of winners with it……including match point! Not a classic but enjoyable none the less! Thanks for the game Wayne." -- Matthew
Player Comments:
- "Under floodlights on a very cold evening. Matt wasn't feeling great but was still good enough to play. That was probably the deciding factor. I still had to play well to win. But it's usually a lot closer when we are both at our best. Still a good match though with some great shots. I just had more energy in the longer rallies on the night. " -- Antony

- "Another long competitive game between us. Wayne wasn't missing anything in the first set and deservedly won it despite some really good long rallies at Deuce on lots of games I was always chasing. I got going in the second to go 3-0 up only for Wayne to come back to 4-3 up! we shared the games from then to take it to tiebreak which I JUST managed to scrape. The first two sets were an hour each. But we were determined to get the match finished so we upped the tempo in the 3rd and I managed to get over the line. Some really good tennis and a great start to Sunday morning. Look forward to the next one!!" -- Antony
Player Comments:
- "Nice conditions for a Sunday morning tennis match. Played well and gave my opponent limited chances. Cheers for the game Matt . All the best." -- Dean
Player Comments:
- "As always a lengthy match with Matt, had some really good rallies with some great shots by both of us. I managed to get an early break on the first set and do enough to hold out for the set despite Matt having a few break point opportunities. Matt was very consistent throughout and it really showed in the second set when he made very few mistakes. Luckily I managed to take the final set when I tried to up my tempo after it reached 4-4 to finish off a very competitive match. Thanks again Matt. " -- Kieran

- "Great to meet Kieran. Thanks for the game. " -- James
Player Comments:
- "Competitive game in variable weather conditions. Courts were slightly greasy underfoot making quick change of direction difficult. First set i ran into a 5-0 lead. Although after about 10 deuces on Waynes serve the scoreline could have been 2-1 and maybe a different story. Second set remained competitive up to 3-3 before i gained control to see the match out. Remained pretty consistent and the short ball bringing the opponent in seemed to have the most success. Cheers Wayne . All the best." -- Dean

Player Comments:
- "Great game" -- Simon
Player Comments:
- "Having played Luke before once I knew it would be a close one. A gentleman of the sport, again such good range of shots, also a threatening first serve which is backed up with a decent second. We will play again (but need some recovery first ha ha) as he pushes opponent to max. I have come away seeing first hand there is so much room for improvement on my shots, as he demonstrated great style. Deuce was our favourite (and least favourite) score. Next match will be 3hours so we will book earlier! " -- Ryan
