Player Comments:
- "A match played in a friendly spirit. It was a very tight match in which most points were decided by errors rather than winners. I managed to edge out both sets towards the end of each. " -- Nathanael
Player Comments:
- "Although the score is not complimentary to my opponent the social side was. " -- Steven
Player Comments:
- "Well, a very interesting game. 1 set we kept breaking each other serve. 2nd I could not win 1 game! 3rd set went to serve up to 4. Could have gone either way. I enjoyed it the match but I guess One would say that. " -- Steven

Player Comments:
- "As I told Tristan, this was the best match I've ever played in. Both players were matching each other stroke for stroke all the way back through and it really could have gone either way. There were plenty of rallies that went on longer than a prog rock experimental album. At 5-3 down in the deciding set I relaxed as I thought the match was lost and ironically this seemed to help my game, winning the next 4 games. Tristan is a worthy opponent, and I look forward to the re- match at vernon Park. See you soon Tristan." -- Alex
