Player Comments:
- "It was a lovely morning for tennis in Waterloo Park. The match was very even with both of us failing to hold serve in the first set. Many of our games went to deuce and really it could have gone either way. I was just able hold a few of my service games to secure the third set. Thank you for a really enjoyable game Bryony." -- Cathy
Player Comments:
- "The queen would approve we had decided before scheduling this match as she was already on her way to Windsor at the time of our match.The 2 sets took us a long time as we kept reminiscing about the royal departure and events in between games.The final score does not reflect Hillary's stamina as a lot of games went to deuce. We had a fair number of long rallies too and the weather was just the right temperature with a beautiful and fitting calm atmosphere in Heigham Park. Thank you Hillary for a good match on a historic day." -- Beate

- "Lovely intro back into playing league after some time off. Cathy was a great opponent with consistent ground strokes and we battles most games out to deuce.

Least said the better. Last set was very even but we narrowly managed to inch ahead at the end. Thanks everyone for such a fun match!" -- Liz
