Player Comments:
- "Another competitive game, although I don't think either of us were at our best. Really tight first set with quite a few mistakes from both players and sadly lots of double faults. Neither player really got into any rhythm throughout the match. Still it was a competitive, enjoyable match with some decent rallies in both sets. " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Another good, really enjoyable game with some decent tennis played. I served oretty well which kept me ahead for most of the match, Chris caught me on a good day when I probably played my best tennis in the league so far. Still his first and really strong second serve caused me a good few problems and with more consistency the match would've been a lot closer. There were a few high quality rallies and some of the rallies in the match were the hardest and fastest I have faced in the league to date. I don't think the scoreline was the truest reflection of some of the points we played. Cheers for the game Chris, I'm sure the next one will be closer!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Double duty for myself and David this evening (got to take advantage of the nice courts at Beverley when the opportunity presents itself). I think fatigue had set in for both of us by the time we were both in our fourth set of the evening. A little bit more consistency from me perhaps gave me the edge on the night." -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Another good, competitive game which I just edged although David's big first serve caused me some real problems at times." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A nice hit in the sunshine. Keep at it Jay!" -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Another fun, competitive match. Paul's strong serving and decisive play was too much for me in the first set, and he looked to be cruising to victory in the second at 4-1 before I fought back to 4-4 with serve....only to get broken to love and see my chance to take the match to a decider slip away. A much deserved win for Paul, well played sir." -- Stuart
Player Comments:
- "Really good contest with a lot of competitive rallies. Absolutely knackered now though!" -- Stuart
