Player Comments:
- "Good to play Craig again for an early one, we only had the court for an hour so played fast 4. I started well but Craig came back from a break and hit some nice slices to take us to a tie break which I only pipped. The next set was a close affair but I was just more consistent and found my strokes. Cheers Craig." -- Luke

Player Comments:
- "Another 3 hour marathon match with fellow Beverley Park member Craig. The first set went with serve and I managed to take the take the tie break. Craig then upped his level and took the second set 6–2. Staying in control in the decider he lead 5-3 and was 0-40 up before I managed to stage a miraculous comeback to win 7-5. Our record now stands at 2-2. Cheers Craig mate." -- Mark

- "This was the third time Greg and I have played and like the other two this game was very tight and very enjoyable and developed into something of a 2 hour epic - I managed to take the first set 6-2 but in the second set Greg made far fewer errors and raced to a 3-0 lead - I managed to claw it back to 3-3 with lots of tight points and deuces - thereafter it was really close with some great rallies and eventually we reached 6-6 and a tie break- again this was very close and Greg fought back from being several points down and we reached 6-6 in the tie break - somehow managed to win the next two points t take the match- a really enjoyable match played in excellent spirit - Good luck with your remaining matches Greg and lets play again soon!" -- Peter
Player Comments:
- "Good game with Louise in tricky conditions - a very low sun meant one of us was always playing half blind, some good rallies and good quality points none the less." -- Richard
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "Played in quite high winds this morning with Greg, good workout for both, with a mix of short games but some long rallies too. Greg hasn't played for a while so I got the benefit of him being out of practice!" -- Richard
Player Comments:
- "Tennis equivalent of a football match with a game of two halves. Really close first set, could easily have gone the other way. Both players left scratching their heads about the second set. Enjoyable game." -- David
Player Comments:
- "It was nice to meet Louise on this Friday morning. Courts slightly icy but decided to play on. Despite the score we had some good rallies! Good luck with the rest of your matches" -- Simon
