The first set was one sided but Robert found consistency in his serve and ground strokes in the 2nd and we had plenty of good fun rallies even if quality was low. The set could have gone either way as I fought back from 0-3 and Robert from 3-5. Cheers for the match Robert and good luck with your other matches. " -- Andrew

Player Comments:
- "In contrary to what score suggests it was very very close game. Even in last set there were regular deuces and very prolonged games. Nania and Sandra style suggested more experience and it was very difficult to make them to to miss difficult shots from oponent, also both were really great at the net. The combination of luck and avoidance of too much risk helped eventually us to win though any next time the outcome may be very different. Thank you Nania and Sandra for the friendly game, it was a pleasure to play with you and good luck for remaining matches.! " -- Inga

- "It was interesting very close match. As the score shows the outcome was not clear up to the very end of the match, we had lots of deuces especially during the last set leading to tiebrake. Though somehow in final minutes the fortune dwelled longer on our side. Thank you Liliya and Linda for this great game!" -- Inga

- "Managed to play in the only 2 hour window of dry weather. However, it was still challenging as it was very blustery especially during the first and third sets. Even so we had a really enjoyable match with lots of long rallies using all of the court. We had many games going to deuce which could have gone either way. Thanks Nania and Sandra for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon of tennis." -- Linda

Player Comments:
- "After a couple of issues with the rain - we had to move the match indoors due to the deluge and even then it was touch and go whether we'd be able to play because the roof was leaking badly at David Lloyds. However we finally managed to get under way on the only court that wasn't soaking wet and what a very enoyable time we had. Both sets were tight, the first was very tight with lots of games going to duece. We had some great rallies using allangles the court allows. The score in the second set didn't reflect how close that was as well. The match could have gone either way. Thank you Liliya for finding a court at the 11th hour and thank you Julie and Peter for agreeing to split the costs of the court." -- Linda
