A grand 80% of matches were played this round which is a lovely Christmas present to all of us at Tennis Towers. Thank you for your support, not just this round, but all year. We wish you all the best for a fantastic Christmas break and a tennis-filled New Year. See you in January!
Group Summary:
A really competitive group with each of the top four players in contention for the group title. No one could keep a completely clean sheet, but newcomer Jaya navigated the ups and downs of league play the most successfully, winning four matches for his one loss. That loss was a real epic, a three setter won, appropriately enough, by the runner-up, Joseph. Daniel (who didn't have the advantage of bonus points) earns a very strong third place. Brilliant tennis all!

Group Summary:
A great return to the league for Kevin and a first group win! Richly deserved, especially since Kieren double-downed in his effort to catch the champ, playing all his matches and equalling his points tally. That meant the group win was all down to their head-to-head, a three-setter that went Kevin's way. Excellent tennis from the top two and the chasing pack, especially Charlie and Sam who notched up ten wins between them.

Patrick now has a hat-trick of group wins in the Norwich league and this was a particularly nice one - every match played, each won in straight sets but a couple of tiebreaks to survive to keep him on his toes! Jeremy and Paul were both chasing hard but Jeremy edged ahead of Paul to take second place thanks, in part, to bonus points. Well played all!

Ilias has a wicked slice serve with very little bounce - which caught me off guard several times... he also delivered some great 1 2s with the wide serve and hitting into the open space. I started to find my groove on serve in the second set and Ilias serve constancy seemed to drop in the second. Some competitive points played - especially in the second set.

A slow start for both of us and i took an early lead and was soon 3-0 up. But Andrew showed true grit and determination and the score was soon 5-4 with Andrew playing solid consistent tennis. I had a solid service game to close out the first set. Andrew started the second set with a shaky service game... Which helped me build momentum in the second set.

After going with serve, Olive broke me to go 5-4 up which I managed to turn around to 6-5 before Olive took us to a tie break. That started close but at 3-3 Oive edged away with some superb shots into the corners. Part way through the first game, Olive slipped on the side line and fell heavily injuring her knee which meant she had to retire. I'm gutted a great match ended this way. Really hope you recover soon Olive and we get to play again. " -- Andrew

- "Grit and determination could never be used to describe me on a tennis court but I needed that to overcome Ilias. We played on a very breezy day at Eaton Park and both of us struggled to win our serves in the first set. Ilias took a deserved 4-1 and I have no idea how I took it to 6-5 before Illias served out to take it into a tie break that I just edged. The second set was much better with some strong serving and plenty of aces from Ilias who eventually broke to take a 5-4 and then 6-5 lead. Unfortunately, Ilias wasn’t moving as freely and I managed to take it to a tie break where my serving helped me through to win the match. I am sure Ilias had more winners and more aces but some how I came through in a fully enjoyable match. " -- Andrew

Fantastic debut from Ivan who tops the table three points clear of Martin and has the satisfaction of coming through their head to head in three sets in what was effectively the group decider.

Look down the results and you will see lots of twists and turns and sub-plots in this entertaining group. Liz for example had some great matches, just holding off Howard to maintain her chances of a podium finish and beating Jon, the only man to get the better of Ian this round. Ian though made sure he played all his matches and that, along with his five excellent wins and bonus points, earned him a back-to-back group win! Only two unplayed matches in the whole group so take a bow everyone!

Player Comments:
- "Played under lights on court 1 at Eaton. Weather damp but still evening. Karl went 3 love up then to 4-1. There was lots of errors from both players. First set went very quickly to 6-2. Howard and I had some nice points in the second set which finished 6-3. As it was a nice evening after the drizzle stopped and conditions were now good. We stayed to have a practice hit. K " -- Karl

Player Comments:
- "A draw! Great fun game some clever shots and nice serves from Karl. We both had some bad serves but neither of us can blame the sun as it seemed that the low sun wasn't to either of our advantage. Many deuces so I think a draw is fair given the court was booked and we both had things to do in the afternoon. Very enjoyable and nice to meet you Karl" -- Jack
Reveal CommentLiz Somerville bt Jon Olpin (Nov 23) 4-6, 6-3, 7-5
Player Comments:
- "As always, a fabulous match with Jon. We played at Harford Park where neither of us have played before. Right by a main road, with a poorly maintained (and very wet after the morning’s rain) surface - won’t be playing there again! The match’s overall pattern was each of us consistently losing our service games! After 2 quite quick sets, we played a gruelling third set with deuces a plenty. Jon was always ahead but then I somehow managed to win 3 games on the trot to take the match. " -- Liz
- "A closely fought contest in the exotic surroundings of Harford Park. As in our previous encounter Liz was able to hold her nerve at the crucial time and was particularly severe on my second serve. Thanks Liz for another great game." -- Jon

Reveal CommentInga Misane bt Karl Jokat (Nov 13) 6-0, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Great day for a tennis - sunny and quiet, although one side of the court was creating significant disadvantage due to low sun and bright reflections. Karl has just returned to league after a prolonged break and is still recovering from knee injury. Despite that once he warmed up the game became very different. The score does not reflect my struggle - we had many prolonged and quite exausting games and at the end I felt I was really lucky to take the advantage of having the sun in my back for last two games. Thank you Karl for the enjouyable game and good luck in future matches! " -- Inga
Reveal CommentIan Brown bt Howard Jones (Nov 11) 6-1, 3-6, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "A see-saw match played in rain and wind which contributed to wayward shots from both players. Howard struggled with my spin in the first set, but he then dominated the second set with accurate forehand shots and his own spin drop shots. In the final set I played a more orthodox game with forehand passes to take control. Despite the awful weather conditions it was a very enjoyable match and I look forward to playing Howard again, he was well worthy of the set he won." -- Ian

Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the game Jon. Still in line to win the league! Enjoyed all the games so far, bit frustrated my serve wasn't that consistent but non the less we had a few decent rallies and Jon played some really good winners! Will have to organise some friendlies as I won't be in the same league as Jon next time!! " -- Jack
- "It was great to meet Jack in what was only his fourth competitive match. He has a really powerful topspin forehand with which he hit many winners. But this was offset by too many unforced errors and double faults, hence I was able to win the match in 2 sets. But I'm sure he will eradicate these errors with more match practice and become a force to be reckoned with," -- Jon

- "A damp night but it stayed dry for most of the match. Serving with a backdrop of fireworks going off was a new experience which added to the enjoyment of the match, not that we could pay much attention to them. We started a third set, but then the rain set in so abandoned the idea. Thanks Jack for an enjoyable game and good luck with your remaining matches." -- Ian

Reveal CommentJon Olpin bt Inga Misane (Nov 6) 6-2, 2-6, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Another terrific see-saw of a contest. I feel I sort of got away with one tonight. It was very cold and Inga struggled to get into the first set, particularly with her serve, and with a tight calf muscle. But having warmed up the second set was completely different and she didn't give me a look-in with shots to both corners. 2-0 down in the last set I was looking down the barrel, but I dug in to bring it back to 4-all, and then Inga made some uncharacteristic mistakes to let me back in. What a game. Many thanks Inga." -- Jon

- "What a rollercoaster of a game. Two and a half hours from sun to rain to floodlights. At 3-2 down in the final set I was feeling very tired and gambled on being more aggressive which seemed to turn the tide. All credit to Ian who is remarkably fit for a man of such a senior disposition and always challenges you with his wicked spin shots." -- Jon
- "This was a gruelling match lasting two and a half hours with no quarter given. Many of the games resulted in umpteen deuces with long fought out rallies. In the end there had to be a winner and Jon's stamina got him over the line. Thanks Jon for a truly great game and well done on a hard earned victory," -- Ian
