I managed to be more consistent than Mark and gained a 3-2 lead. I put some pressure on him with some deep shots and ultimately prevailed. The overall score does not do justice to the intensity of the match, with most games going to ad scores. I look forward to our next match! Claudio " -- Claudio

Reveal CommentOllie Tabor bt Mark Bagley (Jul 20) 6-4, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "Mark is an incredibly difficult opponent who has Djokovic esque levels of defensive play, the ball just keeps coming back! He forces the extra shot on most points and in the early stages of our match I found it hard to get into any rythym. I was 3-0 down very quickly but managed to focus enough to pull it back and take the set. The second set was more straight forward, although saying that we had a bit of a deucey tussle at 3-2, which could have gone either way. Fortunately for me it went in my favour. Well played Mark, though I'm not looking forward to playing you in the next round!! (from a tennis perspective!!)" -- Ollie

- "Despite the non-optimal state of the grass at Iffley and some untimely rain, this was a great match. The first set could have gone either way, Chris has some great hands at the net! The second set was hard-fought too but I was able to play with more confidence and benefitted from a few more unforced errors from Chris. Thanks for the match!" -- Eloise

I think the real winner was the sun, spoiling the match and unfortunately for Jon, it had played against his resistance and forced him to make mistakes that I am sure he wouldn't have done on a normal day. Especially on his serve. Some good rallies and interesting talk on court. It was a good match though, thanks Jon! " -- Fabio

Regardless, it was great fun and, for moments, we even produced some decent tennis, considering the though circumstances. I honestly think that if Fabio wouldn't have played another match before this one, he would have win this match. Well played Fabio and congrats on finishing two matches on the day of highest temperatures on record!" -- Luis

Obviously there were plenty of breaks. I remember having set point at 5-4 with my serve, but I couldn't convert and the set went, inevitably, to a tense tie break were the player that made less unforced errors took it.

Player Comments:
- "The match was played on artificial grass, unfamiliar surface for us both, which made the rallies very tricky. It was a tight match that was basically decided by some unforced errors in critical moments. Jon has a sensational serving and it seemed that the first set would be decided in a tie-break but, unexpectedly to me, Jon felt the pressure and did a double fault in my first set point to concede the set 7-5. The second one started very even but two break points converted at the end allowed me to run away with the match in straight sets. Nice to have met you Jon and good luck!" -- Luis

On the second set I was trailing 4-2 down but with a bit of stubbornness to not give up the set from myself and a bit of tiredness from Lana, I managed to win the last 4 games and the match. Even though, she had some pretty good chances until the end to take the match to a third set which, to my relief, didn't happen since I was feeling very tired. Great to meet you Lana, good luck in your next matches" -- Luis

Reveal CommentFlora Mcmeeking bt Jon Bennett (Jul 9) 1-6, 6-3, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "Most excellent match with Jon. I have played him once before (when I was beaten) so I knew what to expect - slice, slice, and more slice. He was strong in the first set and I made a lot of errors but this happened last time so I kept calm and carried on. In the second set Jon began to be let down by his first serve so I was able to capitalize on that. I made less errors and managed to turn things around. Jon rallied in the third set and it could have gone either way to be honest but today the gods of tennis were on my side and I went home happy. " -- Flora

Reveal CommentFederico Antonio Melillo bt Sam Brind (Jul 10) 4-6, 6-3, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "One of the most fought matches ever played. Sam is a clever and technical player, his strength is surely the cut-ball shots. I tried to do my best in all the sets, many of the games ended with several deuce. Especially in the last set the mistakes of both have become more and more evident due to fatigue. The last point was really infinitive, maybe 8 deuce and alternate advantages. " -- Federico Antonio
