Played over two nights all three sets were tight and could have gone either way with some cracking rallies throughout. Thanks Simon for a couple of enjoyable evenings - look forward to playing again and comparing predictions for the coming season over a post match beer!" -- Stephen

Player Comments:
- "A great match played in good spirits, a day later than planned thanks the great British weather. Alex shot out of the blocks taking the first set and racing to a 3-0 lead in the second before (helped I have to say by a few lucky net cords which definitely all seemed to go my way today) I clawed my way back. 70 / 80 % of games went to deuce through all three sets. Some great rallies, over two hours on court and played by two not so young novices in exactly the right spirit. See you again soon hopefully Alex! " -- Stephen

Player Comments:
- "There was a huge, sun drenched crowd, and some pigeons, waiting in anticipation to see these two dads slogging it out, both competing in their first ever competitive singles match, and they weren't disappointed. The games were very close with many going to deuce. Simon's deft drop shots and back spin shots kept me on my toes, but alas, lady luck smiled on me today. Both players agreed to play again sometime as friends, and that is just what it's all about at the end of the day. Cheers Simon, all the best with your remaining matches. :-)" -- Alex

We both took a while to settle in with a few first set wobbles, including a nasty tumble for Nattelie - hope your knee is OK?!

Reveal CommentEmma Grishin bt Katie McLean (May 5) 6-2, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "For two complete novices playing their first ever competitive match in this league, the blustery conditions certainly proved an extra challenge this evening! The wind provided most of the top spin that we have not quite mastered in our coaching sessions yet but we persevered to produce some really good rallies. The final score does not reflect the quality of play by Katie, which included 2 Aces, no less! A great fun match, made harder by the fact that we are coaching buddies but our coach would have been proud of the competitive but supportive nature in which the game was played. Thanks for a great introductory match, Katie!" -- Emma
