Collapse AllOxford Singles - Round 38 | Thursday 1 November 2018 to Wednesday 9 January 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 5 December 2018)
This was another exciting and busy round of tennis in Oxford Tennis League with great levels of participation resulting in over 70% of matches completed. You had to contend with a mixed bag of weather, court conditions and luck (ranging from icy courts to unlucky net cords and broken strings) but in true British style you didn't let this deter you! It was great to welcome 9 new players to the league alongside lots of returning players, and we're already looking forward to the next round in Oxford!
Group Summary:
There were new faces at the top of Group 1 with Chamara taking the Group 1 crown at the first attempt, winning all 7 matches to finish 6 points clear of fellow league debutant James. Chamara won their head to head in 2 close sets, helped by James' "huge first serve not firing" that day. Tom and Helen both managed to play 6 matches, and Tom was "shattered by the end" of their head to head from chasing down Helen's shots, something Christopher commented on too!

- Chamara Wijesinghe [W7] 16 includes 2 bonus points WINNER
- James Burton [W4, L1] 10 includes 2 bonus points RUNNER UP

Group Summary:
This was a well contested group with just one point separating group champion Peter from runner up Steve, and the top 3 players all completing 6 or 7 matches. There were several contenders for "Match of the Group" but we've settled on Peter's 3-set win over Steve as it went to the wire in a third set tiebreak. Iurie and Sebastien had a close encounter too with Sebastien staging an impressive comeback in the second set but fell just short in the tiebreak, while he was on the winning side in a second set tiebreak against Richard.

Player Comments:
- "Great game. Sébastien took advantage of me missing my range in the first set. I managed to turn it around in the second. Sébastien had to borrow my spare racket in the final set due to a broken string which might have made a difference. Look forward to next game. Steve " -- Steve
Player Comments:
- "Absolute pleasure to play with Richard. It was a good competitive match and I managed to just keep ahead in both sets. Look forward to playing again. " -- Steve
Player Comments:
- "A fine day for a game of tennis. Unfortunately for Tom today I made very few double faults (unlike some previous matches) and very few unforced errors. Had Tom managed to convert the many game points he had the score would have been a lot closer. Enjoyable game. Cheers Tom." -- Peter
Match of the Group:
Reveal CommentPeter Watkins bt Steve Carpenter (Dec 9) 2-6, 6-2, 7-6 (7-3)Player Comments:
- "Difficult conditions today, wind and a low sun. Steve is an awkward and canny opponent, he gets a high per cent balls in court and makes few unforced errors. He took a early lead and was 5-0 up very quickly. I took the second set although by the same score as the first set not quite as efficiently. The third set went one way then another, I saved 3 set points at 4-5 and finally, thankfully took the tie breaker." -- Peter
Player Comments:
- "Had a really enjoyable game with Tariq; he is strong on both wings. The match was a lot tighter than the score card suggests." -- Peter
Player Comments:
- "A good battle at the beginning of the match, and some nice points" -- Sébastien

Player Comments:
- "Nice match! The court was quite slippery though so it was difficult to run." -- Sébastien
Group Summary:
It was as close as can be at the top of Group 3 with Alastair and Al both finishing on 11 points with 4 match wins, so it came down to their head to head which Alastair managed to win from behind in 3 sets. Alastair's only defeat was to Nic who recovered from losing a very close first set tiebreak to win in 3 sets. Paul showed his battling qualities too winning two close matches against Nick and Edward, helped in the latter case by "the God of Net Breaks" being on his side as Edward had about 10 unlucky net cords!
Final Rankings:
- Alastair Barr 9.2 [W4, L1] 11 includes 2 bonus points WINNER
- Al Smith 9.2 [W4, L1] 11 includes 2 bonus points RUNNER UP
- Paul Wharton 9.2 [W2, L2] 6 includes 2 bonus points

Player Comments:
- "A tough match in tough (i.e. freezing) conditions. On paper this appeared to be quite even, and indeed it was. Edward took an early advantage, as my body remembered what it’s like to not sit on the sofa watching films and drinking Baileys. We had a lot of long rallies and some arduous deuce games, and the first set took almost 90 minutes. I managed to claw my way back into it, and must say the God of Net Breaks seemed to be on my side, as Ed had about ten balls ping the net and drop his side. Cold and craving a warm pub, we somehow decided to carry on, and this set was far quicker, both of us opting to try cut the rallies short. It went to and fro, with more close deuce games, but I somehow emerged the victor. " -- Paul

- "Some long competitive rallies especially in the first set. Good strokes from both players" -- Nic
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable game played in quite windy conditions. Good luck with the remainder of your games Nic." -- Al
Player Comments:
- "Having lost twice to Nick on grass, I was determined to beat him on the hard courts. He got the better of me the first set, as I struggled to deal with a slightly slippy surface. A good start to the 2nd set was essential, and the 2nd game went to about 10 deuces, Nick eventually breaking serve. I broke right back, and as I found my feet (literally) we put together some epic rallies, and I pulled away, winning that set comfortably. I switched off somewhat after that, and suddenly found myself 2-0 and 30-0 down. But a quiet word with myself worked a treat, and soon it was 2-2. My tail was up, but Nick's serve was mis-firing, handing me a few free points, and despite his best efforts the match was soon in the bag." -- Paul

Group Summary:
It was a successful return to Oxford Tennis League for Joshua who topped Group 4 with an impressive 7 wins and no defeats, including 2 comebacks from a set down against Lyn and Annabel. Lyn had a strong round too achieving 5 wins following promotion from Group 5. These included a 3-set comeback against Mark and a closely contest 2-setter against Arnold, which was their "usual very close game". Hats off to Joshua and Paul for battling on against darkness and rain to get their match played... demonstrating the spirit of the league in fine style!

Player Comments:
- "A competitive match with both players liking to attack the ball when the opportunity presents itself making some good points and rallies " -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "A good match played first in December near darkness and then in heavier and heavier rain, but we managed to get it finished in true never-say-die fashion. The second set was a titanic battle with momentum shifting in either direction but I managed to just hold on in the tie breaker. " -- Joshua

Reveal CommentLyn Haslett-Hawkins bt Mark King (Dec 10) 1-6, 7-5, 6-4Player Comments:
- "A good competitive game with Mark who played really well and I was just lucky enough to clinch it." -- Lyn
Player Comments:
- "Always a pleasure to play Arnold and we had our usual very close game. The first set was very close but I just managed to the break. The second set was a series of breaks of serves and we were level at 4 all. I managed to get to 5-4 but Arnold then turned it round to make it 6-5 and then we had a really long game with what must have been about 20 deuces. It was amazing and we finally levelled at 6 all. The tie break was close too but luckily went my way. We could easily have gone to a third set. Arnold definitely had the two best shots of the match with a cracking forehand on the run and a volley where he literally managed to get from one side of the court to the other and put it away. Great match Arnold. Good luck with the others!" -- Lyn
Player Comments:
- "Frustratingly Doug and I were forced to split our match over two days after we were double-booked at WHTLC. I lead 6-0, 4-2 after one hour - we had of course booked two - when we had to hand over the court. This was on Sunday. We then played two games on a gloomy and sodden astro-turf outside court - to see if we could finish on the day - but found we couldn't run. So we picked up the match again today Wednesday at 4 games all and after a long final game I managed to close it out. It was a closer match than the score indicates and I was matched in tenacity." -- Annabel
Player Comments:
- "A good game with Douglas who made me work hard. There were some great rallies and many deuces. The match was closer than the score looks." -- Lyn
Player Comments:
- "A fun match featuring a second set epic, which I was lucky to win. There was a marathon game at 2-2 which I was fortunate to scrape through, and Arnold was unlucky not to capitalise on two set points he had when serving at 5-4. Thanks Arnold, best of luck in your remaining matches!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "This was a really good match with Mark. The first set was extremely tight, all games with serve until 4-4 when I then managed to get a break and served out the set. The second set was more varied, swinging first one way, then another until I was able to close out the match. Some great cross court shots from Mark including the shot of the match on the run that whistled past me to hit the line." -- Joshua
Player Comments:
- "A long battle with Annabel as usual who played really well in the first set with many deuces but she made all the crucial points. I recovered in the second set which was also a marathon as I was 5-2 up but Annabel came back to 5-4 with some great tennis and I was lucky to get the second set. We ran out of court time." -- Lyn
Player Comments:
- "The second set was a lot harder than the first as Jon's first serve found it's mark and I got broken twice including one excellent lob to save a match point. In the end I had to break back to close it out. " -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "A really good match with Lyn. In the first set Lyn came through, in particular her heavy forehand return punished my second serve. In the later sets I was able to get some momentum going in my ground strokes but the scores in sets 2 and 3 do not reflect how close the games were, with some great rallies being played." Joshua
Player Comments:
- "Josh and I were unable to finish our match today as we ran out of court space - before he needed to pick up his child from school. I won the first set 6-4 and am 4-3 up in the second. We aim to finish it before the midway point. Annabel" -- Annabel
- "A very close match which swung backwards and forwards several times. In the end I was able to raise my first serve percentage and come through but it was closer than the score in the final set suggests." Josh
Player Comments:
- "The last game was almost as long as the whole match as Annabel tenaciously held on! " -- Jon
Player Comments:
- "A nice energetic game played on damp courts with a tricky low sun. An early break was all that separated us in the first set and I faced quite a few break points on one service game. The second set was a little more comfortable but still lots of good points. A good match. " -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "A really good game with Jon. Jon played really well in the second set with some great shots and to be honest I was lucky to win it. I enjoyed the match. Good luck in your other matches Jon." -- Lyn
Player Comments:
- "One game all and duece in the first set with Paul serving and then a massive downpour. It was forecast but we thought we would at least get a set in! We are rescheduling." -- Lyn
- "Good game with Paul. The score really doesn’t reflect the match which was an hour and a half. We had many deuces. We played a long tie break friendly at the end which Paul won." Lyn
Player Comments:
- "An entertaining and enjoyable night match underneath the floodlights. Thanks Jon and good luck with your remaining fixtures!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Really good match with some high quality rallies. " -- Joshua
Group Summary:
Congratulations to league debutants Emilio and Fabio for finishing top and runner up respectively in a very close Group 5. Third placed Flora also had a strong round and finished on 8 points too so it came down to head to head wins. Emilio was the only player to go undefeated in the round although his match against Michelle was unfortunately a walkover. Flora and Kiran played a tough 2-setter which started indoors and then moved to a somewhat icy outdoor court when their booking ran out, while Emilio and Noah's match was in 2 instalments as Noah's strings snapped the first time round. Well done for persevering to get these matches finished!

Player Comments:
- "Great match with Michelle. Loads of winners on both ends of the court: Michelle's forehand is unbelievable and almost always unreturnable. It has been a real pleasure to meet with her; we will surely keep in touch next year to play other friendly matches." -- Fabio
Player Comments:
- "We couldn't finish the match because Noah's racket strings snapped. We will continue it as soon as possible. The score in the second set was 1-0, advantage in (second game)" -- Emilio
Player Comments:
- "I spent a large part of this match trying to prevent Michelle from using her forehand ground stroke. Once you get one of these whistling past your ankles to the baseline, all you can do is watch." -- Flora

- "Fabulous match with Kiran. Very, very close all the way through. We played indoors at the luxurious David Lloyd club for the first set and most of the second but ran out of time and had to move to an outdoor court when I was one game ahead at 5-4. Conditions were now somewhat different - the temperature had dropped by about fifteen degrees, the sun was blazing away, and the sound of traffic on the ring road was also a factor. Also all of the available courts had ice on them so we chose the least lethal and proceeded with some very careful tennis. Kiran secured the next game and soon we reached six-all so we had to go for the tie break. For once I actually remembered the rules and was able to keep my nerve to win. Thank you Kiran!" -- Flora
