Player Comments:
- "lovely evening for tennis -some good rallies. Bryony felt a bit rusty after not playing for a while, but after a few games I'm sure she will be back on form!" -- Mary
Player Comments:
- "Some great rallies and a number of games going to deuce. Kelly came back in the second set from 3-0 to 3-3 which was unsettling as I was exhausted from my earlier game with Vikki and other exercise. Somehow I soldiered on to take the second set. I couldn't face a third. !" -- Mary
Player Comments:
- "A good workout with Mary as always! Perfect weather too! Thanks Mary. " -- Victoria
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet and play Kelly again on a beautiful summer afternoon at Thorpe rec. This was a very intense match. Nip and tuck all the way in the first set wrapped up with a close tie break with Victoria eventually prevailing. Victoria built a 4-0 in the second before Kelly clawed her way back to make it 3-4. The match finally concluded when Victoria managed to hold serve and break Kelly after several deuces. The famous coach Brad Gilbert often talked about winning ugly. With Kelly's ability to hit consistent deep and high balls to victoria's backhand and Victoria 's serve deserting her, I now know what it means to stay in the game and find a way to win when your game is off! Winning ugly! " -- Victoria
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet and play Christel for the first time on a lovely warm summer's afternoon at Eaton Park. Thanks Christel!" -- Victoria
