Good to see so many partnerships continuing from round to round, and the opportunity to play and re-play other pairs, getting better each time! We look forward to seeing you all again in the next round, don't forget to sign up!

Player Comments:

  • "A great game as always against Jordan and Thomas at Eaton Park! A ridiculous match where almost every game went to deuce, including several long rallies where net play and heavy baseline hitting was matched on both sides of the net. Ultimately on the day Leon and Mark just edged it but it really could have gone either way. Really enjoyable game and we're looking forward to the next one!"  -- Mark
