Player Comments:
- "A most enjoyable match on a lovely summer’s evening. Lots of long rallies not reflected in the score. Great to get to play this time, Hilary! " -- Susan
Player Comments:
- "Outside court. Unfortunately, the skies opened, and down came the torrential, black-cloud content ?. All three games went to deuce, with the 4th ending on deuce - how close is this match ! Great to play Wendy again, and looking forward to recommencing on 12 August (This time, we have booked an inside court ?)" -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "Victoria and I intended to play at Thorpe Park, and then the skies opened, and it poured. We are both members at the local Gym and managed to book a court straight away. It was a great game, and a very close first set with most games going to deuce. We enjoyed the game so much, that we are going to practice together every week, in prep for the next league !" -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "Great game with Hilary - she has an excellent backhand stroke, so score does not reflect the quality of game. Looking forward to playing again, we both enjoy an early morning game, especially in the sunshine !" -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "Good to get this game in with Vickie. I was lucky to take some of the many deuce games so came out of top in the end. Thanks Vickie " -- Wendy
Player Comments:
- "Very enjoyable game with some great rallies - Hilary had me running all over the court! And the rain held off" -- Liz
Player Comments:
- "Great to have Hilary join the women’s league. Played the first set valiantly through the rain till wisely deferred the second set to a sunny Saturday morning. Some good shots not reflected in the score. Thanks for the match Hilary. " -- Wendy
Player Comments:
- "Lovely sunny afternoon though the wind was rather challenging, especially with the serve throw ups! As usual, more talking than tennis - and I was also introduced to the fabulous cafe in Thorpe Rec" -- Liz
Player Comments:
- " A lovely game, thoroughly enjoyable, with many, many deuces. The result does not reflect the balance of play. Looking forward to playing with Sue again, hopefully soon !" -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "We started this match earlier in the week but it was so hot and the first set took so long, we agreed to carry on another day. Today was still a battle but normal temperature! I was 5-1 up in the second set but Sue was not giving in and made me fight for the victory. Great match!" -- Liz
Player Comments:
- "As always, a great game with Liz this evening. Thoroughly enjoyable match - both sets. " -- Sandra
Player Comments:
- "thanks Wendy for hosting this match at Limetree road. It was a blisteringly hot day and we were playing in the middle of the day. I was attempting to play more at the net to save on running in the heat and managed the win!" -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "This was played in the scorching heat. Good to meet you Victoria and thanks for the game. " -- Helen

Reveal CommentHelen Grover bt Sandra O’Neill (Jul 15) 7-5, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2Player Comments:
- "I had a day to consider how best to play the final set but Sandra kept coming back with multiple deuce games in the third set. Glad to managed to complete the match - what a scorcher of a day to play!" -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "Really good to meet Sue. I managed to get a good start in both sets but Sue made me work for the win and we had plenty of deuce games so the score really does not reflect the play. A blustery day but perfect temperature for playing tennis and we had good chat and coffee afterwards. An enjoyable morning and thank you to Sue for travelling to Hingham. " -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "Good to meet you Hilary. Played at Eaton Park on rather blustery but not too warm day. The score for this one was flattering as we did have a few deuce games. Good luck with your other matches." -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "A great match keenly fought by both of us, with lots of deuce games - bit distracted by the booming music of the spin class taking place right next to the court!" -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable game in which many games went to deuce. Perfect conditions for an evening game of tennis. " -- Susan
Player Comments:
- "Rain got the better of us as we got stuck into the first set - match to be re-scheduled" -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "Great to get the match played under very dark clouds; after a few spits of rain, the expected downpour never happened. " -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "This was a real battle! Julie made a strong start to easily win the first set. I pinched the second set then the third set turned into an epic when Julie won 3 games in a row we almost ran out of time but 2 kind gents allowed us to play out the last point during which I finally got a decent touch volley in to win, having fluffed so many along the way. Thanks Julie- it was good to meet you and hope we will battle it out again in future." -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "Due to the drizzle and slippy surface, Sandra made the call to stop play and resume at a later date." -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "I took the first set quite quickly, but Sue gave me a run for my money in the 2nd set with many deuce games and a tie break which could have gone either way - a great match, thanks Sue" -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "My first competitive tennis league match ever! Thank Liz for coming over to Hingham and for explaining the ins and outs of the park tennis league and match formats. The score belies the many extended games we had with multiple deuces on many of them! Look forward to playing you again at some stage in the future. H." -- Helen
Player Comments:
- "Great match. Liz got off to a flying start and I slowly upped my game to manage 2 sets. Lovely sunny evening at Limetree road. Thanks for the game liz" -- Wendy
