Player Comments:
- "Great match and just avoided the rain. Lots of deuces and good rallies. Hope to play again soon." -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for match Sam, was great to meet you and I look forward to the next one!" -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match Jack, good luck with the rest of the round! " -- Tomi
Player Comments:
- "Good battle on a very windy day, which made it hard to get any consistency going. Matt started much better and had points to go 5-3 up and also to take it to a tie break but I held on. I got in the lead in the second set but Matt came back well and a slice of luck helped me to close out at 5-4. Thanks for a good match Matt and I look forward to the next one!" -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable, high quality match played in good conditions, which is rare at the moment. There was lots of good shot making from both sides throughout the match, which lasted 2 hours due to there being lots of deuces. I managed to take more of the deuce games, which was the difference, but the first set in particular was tight. Thanks for another good match Luke and I look forward to the next one!" -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Cheers for the game jack - I just had a rare night tonight where I really didn’t miss much. I’m sure we’ll have much closer matches in the future. Hopefully get to play again soon and good luck with the remaining matches! " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable match on a beautiful sunny morning at Lakenham. The first set was extremely tight and could have gone either way with lots of long rallies and good shots from both sides. Second set still long rallies but I somehow edged most games. Look forward to playing you again Tomi. Your low backhand passing shot in the second set will live long in the memory..." -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Some good points throughout the match; Ben hits a challenging ball off both sides and on serve and constructed some good points. Well played." -- Luke
Player Comments:
- "Nice to meet you Sam - cheers for the match! " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "The highest level match for me so far this round with both of us hitting more winners then errors (unforced and forced), a great match till the last point. Good luck with the rest of the round Matt, look forward to playing again soon!" -- Tomi
Player Comments:
- "Cheers for the game Sam and nice to meet you. Good luck with the rest." -- Jack
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match down at Eaton park, there were some incredibly long rallies in the second set that left us both knackered. Both sets were very tight but I just managed to get ahead in both at 3-3 and then close them out. Was great to meet you Ben and hopefully we’ll have another game soon!" -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "A good match at Eaton park in surprisingly warm weather. The match was closer than the score line suggests, with pretty much every game going to at least 30-30. The turning point was a missed volley from Jack that would’ve put him 3-2 in the second set, after which I managed to win that game and use the momentum to close out the match. Thanks for a great game Jack and I look forward to the next one!" -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "A close match, played at a good level in nice conditions for February. At no point was there any more than a two game gap and the key moments at the business end of the sets went my way this time. Well played Tomi." -- Luke
Player Comments:
- "Another enjoyable match with Tomi with lots of good rallies and interesting points. I benefited from a good start to get into a 4-0 lead before Tomi came back well. I managed to serve it out to take the set and the second set started in the same vein, before I managed to reel off a few games and pull away. Thanks for another good match Tomi and I look forward to the next one! " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Lovely to meet you Ben - windy conditions made it a tricky one but we had some good rallies and I’m sure you’ll go from strength to strength in this group. Good luck with the other matches! " -- Matt
Player Comments:
- "Jack played well and but for a bit more energy at the end of the third could have won. Bit too tired now to even recall how the game went. Well battled Jack!" -- Luke
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match Luke - was a tough, tough battle. Not quite sure how I managed to come back from 5 - 1 down in that last set. Some great points in there. Good luck in your other matches! " -- Matt

I missed a sitter of a volley at 3-3 in the final set and I thought that was the match won for Liam there and then. Really heavy rain then came which suited me more and I ended up winning the next 3 games to clinch it. Absolutely soaked now and grateful to go home!" -- Adam

Player Comments:
- "It was a tough match playing in the Bright sunny heat! Andy got off to a really slow start. Which allowed me to keep ahead in the first set . It wasn’t a classic we both missed lots of easy shots. Andy played much better in the second set. Making this a very close match. Good to see you again! " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Well played Yeliz! Great to meet you. Best of luck with your last matches. " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Good conditions for playing! Mid Sunday afternoon match at Eaton . Nice to meet you Yelis and enjoy your tennis " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Horrible conditions so a tough match " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Andy and I always have close matches, and this was no exception. In blustery conditions, Andy made a strong start but I managed to string a run of games together to nick the opening set, and give me some momentum for the second. Some great rallies and potent slice serving from Andy - well played and thanks for the game!" -- Patrick
Player Comments:
- "A really high quality match with lots of shotmaking. Delighted to get the win in a very tough encounter with so many close games. Best of luck with the rest of your matches Andrew." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "A really enjoyable game in beautiful sunshine at Heigham Park. Plenty of close games and long rallies throughout, with some fine serving from Yeliz. It was great to meet you Yeliz and thanks for the game!" -- Patrick
Player Comments:
- "First time for Yeliz in the Norwich Parks leagues and it was a pleasure to meet you. The score rather flatters Andy as the games were tighter than the score suggests. Played on a bright but breezy afternoon so not ideal conditions and I think Yeliz struggled a little to find her form. Thank you for the match Yeliz and look forward to seeing you on court again soon. Andy" -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "Today, I played tennis with Harry in Norwich, which was my first time playing in a different country. The weather during the match was rainier than I’m accustomed to. Our first set was evenly matched, and we tied many times. Playing with Harry was enjoyable and fun. It was a pleasure to meet you and have this experience. Thank you very much!" -- Yeliz
Player Comments:
- "The second set was super close and tense toward the end, with Patrick’s knifed backhand slices causing all sorts of problems. I finally managed to break through with a down-the-line winner on my 5th match point. Very relieved to come through that. Well played Patrick and best of luck with the rest of your matches!" -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "A fun match played in good spirits. Great to meet you Harry! Best of luck in your remaining matches. " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "A really close match played in conditions that became increasingly blustery. Paul’s deft angles and volleying were making things difficult for me, and we were primed for a deciding set when unfortunately Paul had to retire due to injury. Thanks for the game Paul and look forward to seeing you back on court soon." -- Patrick
Player Comments:
- "Always a close match against Pat and this was no exception . After leading 4 nil in the second set it was Patrick who had 3 match points . Looking forward to the next one Pat . " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable game played in some bright sunshine that made it quite difficult from one side of the court. Great to meet you Harry and thank you for the match, Welcome to the leagues!. Hope to see you soon. Andy" -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "A fun and high quality match with some lovely shots. The first set was determined only by who could hold serve first after 7 consecutive breaks to start the match. Paul’s excellent serve and net play caused many a problem to solve. I was really pleased to be able keep pressing (and lobbing) and come out with the win in the end." -- Tom

Player Comments:
- "Not the best weather conditions but we powered through the drizzle! The score line does not represent the intensity of the game. Almost every single game was deuce ! In the end I was able to win the games by hitting my shots more consistently. It was a great game and I hope I get to play Ben again, hopefully with better weather next time." -- Max
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet you Peter, thanks for the nice match!" -- Taylor
Player Comments:
- "Scoreline in the 1st set doesnt reflect the game. 1st set had equally long rallies but Max was not finding his rhythm. 2nd set demonstrates Max's ability. Could have gone either way, taking it to a tie break. I honesty thought we were going to play a 3rd set. Nice to meet you and good luck in your remaining games. " -- Paul
- "It was a great game with Paul being there from the start. Took me too long to find my form so I just handed him the first set. Second set was a back and forth which I ultimately lost. Hope to play you again Paul." -- Max
Player Comments:
- "A tight game, in horrid conditions ... until rain drove us from the court. Hopefully the sun will be shining when we resume! (Hamed to serve.)" -- Ben
- "So, we picked this up again on a far more clement Sunday morning and I lucked-out with a purple patch of form just when it mattered. Anyway ... many, many thanks Hamed; this was thoroughly enjoyable and I'm sure we'll play lots more! " -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "It was a real pleasure playing with Peter. Had a lot of fun, with very close games. The score line certainly flatters. Look forward to playing again in the future Peter! " -- Hamed
Player Comments:
- "what a match ! First set was really close with each of us getting breaks, but Hamed then took it from me ! Second set I found my rhythm and was able to come back. Third set was then a battle of endurance ! It was really a close game, I had a ton of fun and I hope to play you again soon Hamed ! Good luck with the rest of your games." -- Max
Player Comments:
- "Great to play again Hamed! Lovely match and conversation :)" -- Taylor
Player Comments:
- "It was really nice to meet Peter today. The conditions were a bit damp and breezy and the scoreline very much flatters me. There were some close games and lots of fun points that had us both scrabbling around the front of the court. I hope we get to play again! " -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Fun match with Ben; had rained the night before but luckily wasn't too slick. The sun even came out during the second set! Lovely match, thanks Ben." -- Taylor
Player Comments:
- "High winds brought almost all of our shots several feet unexpectedly east; bring midday sun as well, but we managed to complete the match without much trouble. Nice playing with you, Max." -- Taylor
Player Comments:
- "Great morning for Tennis. I started well in the 1st set, before Ben made it level at 2-2. I took the next few games and the 1st set. 2nd set was much closer. Still neck and neck at 4-4 and the match could have gone either way. Ben is very good at the net, so I had to pick out the corners. Some great rallies and perfectly placed lobs by both of us. Good luck in your remaining games. " -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Great afternoon for Tennis. Some good tennis played by both of us. Scoreline doesn't reflect the match. Good luck in your remaining games. - Paul" -- Paul
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "Great game on a chilly Saturday morning. Not only did we have some Grand Slam worthy rallies but it was just overall great fun playing with Julius ! I got a bit lucky in the beginning and was able to capitalise on that for the rest of the game. Exited to play some more games with Julius. Good luck for the rest of your games" -- Max
Player Comments:
- "Very windy conditions at lakenham this afternoon. However match played in good spirits. Good luck in your remaining games Peter." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Match this afternoon played in good spirits!! Taylor took an early lead in the 1st set with some good tennis played by both of us. I then levelled the score by taking the 2nd set. 3rd set, Taylor started strong. However I did pull it back. Last set could have gone either way. Was great to play Taylor. Good luck in your remaining games. " -- Paul

Player Comments:
- "This match (thus far) is a credit to Ivan. His play is very consistent, and very technical. Although Ivan's racket fractured during the 2nd set (Ivan had a 2nd racket with him), he continued to play at the same level. Fortunately for me, I saved 'match point' in this 2nd set, and then went onto win the tiebreaker. Light stopped play at this point, and we intend to resume for final set this Thursday, 7th March. We are so looking forward to it; I cannot express what an enjoyable game of tennis this is. So many deuces, so many long rallies - unbelievable game !" -- Sandra
- "This match was simply terrific !!! It could have gone either way, however, Ivan had the edge and deservedly won the third set. We were playing some 90 minutes to complete this final set - so many deuces ! As said, a great match, and can't wait to play Ivan again ." -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "Was lovely to meet you Chloe, we’ll definitely do it again soon! " -- Ivan
Player Comments:
- "Friendly close match" -- Mike
Player Comments:
- "This was a tight game, much more tighter than what the score depicts ! It was 4-4, 30/30 in the first set, and I was fortunate, just enough, to win that game and the next, to win the first set. Plenty of deuces, and even more rallies. Looking forward to another match with Rob during the next few months." -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "A really great game, and hard fought. I was lucky that Ivan was a bit off his game and I was playing my best. It will be a different story next time. Best of luck in your remaining games Ivan " -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Very enjoyable game this afternoon - thankfully the BBC weather forecast was wrong! Much closer than the shoreline suggests … Guthrie moves really well around the court and made me work hard for lots of games and we had a good number of deuces. Looking forward to some rematches - Guthrie’s not been playing for very long and I think will improve quickly so keep playing! " -- Rob
Player Comments:
- "Another great game in very windy conditions, a lot closer match than the score suggests. Many thanks for the game Chloe." -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Great game, really close in blustery conditions with lots of deuces. Hope we can play again soon." -- Rob
Player Comments:
- "GREAT GAME" -- Mike
Player Comments:
- "This is a cliffhanger of a match ! Mike and I invariably have close games; usually 3 sets. And here we are ! We had to stop play at this score , due to running out of time and light. We are both so looking forward to finishing the match - on Monday (29th), weather permitting!" -- Sandra
- "epic!" -- Mike
Player Comments:
- "A brilliant game, where the score does not give justice to the long rallies and deuces. Chloe has a very hard swing, and if she had had the opportunity to play more tennis recently, then I am sure the score would be very different !. Looking forward to playing Chloe again in the near future x" -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "Great game in very blustery conditions, couldn't have been closer. Many thanks for the game Sandra" -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "The score does not give justice to either Guthrie, or the match itself ! It was a great game, with many deuces and long rallies. Guthrie has only been playing for 7 months; whereas I have been back for at least 7 years ! Looking forward to a rematch in the Summer" -- Sandra

Player Comments:
- "A thoroughly enjoyable match of tennis! With the first set fairly one sided Tony’s experience started to show as he grew into the game and the second set was very even with some great rallies in there. Glad to have edged it and thank you to Tony who was a great opponent to have for my first game. I look forward to playing you again in the future" -- David
Player Comments:
- "When I arrived William was already warming up and banging down beautiful clean (effortless) serves so my expectations of the outcome were suitably kept in check. I was half hoping he might be a new tennis coach and my opponent was yet to arrive. Nope. The rest of his shots were equally impressive. It was actually a pleasure to play William because he hits the ball so well that it meant some of my shots were half decent (not enough to win a game but hey). It was thoroughly decent of him to hang around and hit with me for a while after. Thank you. " -- Antony
Player Comments:
- "A real pleasure to play with Susan today. The weather was perfect. The shoreline makes the win look easy but it wasn’t at all. Good rallies and a fun match. " -- Antony
