Collapse AllNorwich Parks Singles - Round 32 | Thursday 9 January 2020 to Wednesday 4 March 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 5 February 2020)
A winter-weather defying round with nearly 80% of matches played. That is nothing short of heroic and a real testament to your passion for tennis and your commitment to share the fun of playing tennis with like-minded people. Thank you! Here's to the next round and perhaps, some real spring weather!
Group Summary:
Jaya almost made it two group wins in a row and aided by bonus points came within one point of matching James' tally. But an unbeaten run took James to the top of the table. Daniel did his very best to catch him, commendably managing to get a match played that had been offered as a walkover, to level the points at the top. So it all came down to their head-to-head - a chilly match that went James' way. Well done to everyone for all the effort put in and for battling through storms and all that winter tennis could throw at you. Not a single match was left unscheduled!

Player Comments:
- "21st league/competition match, and another close tie that could've gone either way, but I just edged it to go 11-10 up! All 3 sets could've gone either way, with a lot of deuces and long rallies. The third set definitely brought out the best in us the deeper into the set it went. Even with Sam taking a 5-2 lead in the third set, it was only one break and never going to be a straight forward end, with me then serving for the set at 6-5 up. Another classic, I'm sure it won't be the last. Look forward to the next one! " -- Kieren

Group Summary:
Matthew may have been making his league debut, but this was pretty much the Matthew Cooke show! A terrific run of five straight-sets wins earns him the group win and promotion next time. Elsewhere the matches were harder to come by and with six players on two points the runner's up spot is just a little arbitrary. For the record, the rule-book algorithm gives it to Tim, but take it from us - it was a tie.

Group Summary:
Stefan may have been unbeaten this round but he had to work hard for his group win. Runner up Jesse lead the chasing pack and thanks to a point won in his loss to Stefan was able to close the gap at the top to a single point. He even played one more match than his rival to give him the best possible chance! But the laurels this round deservedly go to Stefan. A round of applause to you all in this excellent group, a group where every player won a match!

What a great group with some absolutely brilliant tennis played - and a group winner at his first attempt in Liam who played all and won all his matches (and grabbed bonus points). Not that there weren't challenges to overcome and the on court battles of this round will stand him in good stead as he works his way up the groups. Vikki, Martin and Calum all made sure the race for the top was a well contested won, notching up 12 wins between them. Vikki, thanks in part to bonus points, just grabs the silver. Well played all!

Group Summary:
Belynda and Stephen may not have topped the table this time but tennis is all about match ups, and their terrific "match of the group" is what friendly, competitive tennis is all about. Meanwhile, Ian made it two group wins in a row, adding bonus points to points notched up for no fewer than six great wins. That leaves Jon with the silver and perhaps the bragging rights as he matched Ian for wins, and beat the champ - but didn't add bonus points! If only that illusive seventh match had been played, the group could have been his! Well done Ian and great tennis everyone - an excellent group.

Player Comments:
- "Perfect day for tennis - sunny and calm. Already on warmup I could see that game will be difficult for me as Julie has very unusual spinning low shots. Suprisingly, the first set went smoothly in my favour, Though on the second set Julie managed to take the full advantage of her style and every game was a hard fight for me. I was left with the feeling that would there be a next 3rd set I would not win it." -- Inga
Reveal CommentJon Olpin bt Julie Cooper (Feb 5) 6-3, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "I played most of this game in shirtsleeves which was in testimony partly to the lovely Spring weather but mainly to how hard Julie made me work on each point. I managed to sneak a lead in the first set, but had to become from behind in the second. Thanks Julie for a lovely game and stretching me all the way." -- Jon

Reveal CommentIan Brown bt Inga Misane (Feb 2) 6-0, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "The rain held off just long enough to get this match played. Inga started slowly and improved as the match went on, the score in the second set not reflecting how close it was, with several deuce games. Thanks for the game, Inga and good luck with your remaining matches." -- Ian
Reveal CommentJon Olpin bt Ian Brown (Feb 1) 7-6 (8-6), 6-1
Player Comments:
- "The 40mph winds and low sun at one end made this a bit of a lottery, but despite this it was another terrific game with Ian. Neither of us could work out how I won the first set. The conditions made it so much easier to play at one end than the other, and only 2 games out of 12 in the first set were won at one end. Given this, it looked a certainty that Ian would win the set when he was leading 5-2, and he even had two set points, one of which was lost on a double fault. He was also leading the tie break 5-3 at the good end, but I was lucky enough to have the favourable end from 6-6. This rather knocked the stuffing out of Ian, and combined with the difficult conditions meant Ian wasn't at his best in the second set. Today I was lucky," -- Jon

Player Comments:
- "An ideal morning for tennis. Belynda struggled with my style of play during the match, but in a knock-about after the match she was able to show what a good player she can be, by placing a lot of shots past me. Thanks for an enjoyable match and good luck with your remaining matches." -- Ian

Group Summary:
Another super group - all but three matches played! And again, bonus points played a crucial role, allowing Liz to maximise the value of getting all her matches played, winning five of them and edging points for sets won in her two defeats. Tough on Mike, but his narrow loss to Victoria just prevented him earning the group win. Well done all, and thanks for the nice commentaries!

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
