Player Comments:
- "By the time we started Leigh was on his third set of courts for the afternoon. I am convinced that tennis scoring is not really fair. Nothing for deuce and there were loads. I was on the run, out of breath and at one point on my backside. Thank you for a nice afternoon and best wishes for the rest of the round." -- Justin

- "Alberto effortlessly (it seemed) dismantled everything thrown at him...possibly the most enjoyable match in 8 years in the leagues !" -- Mark

Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the game - some great rallies (and tricky net shots!)" -- Fraser
Player Comments:
- "Jason to serve " -- Kate
- "Such a close and tiring match with Jason spanning two sessions! Many baseline rallies with us both feeling like the other one returned everything. I got lucky in that I got into my zone early in the third set so could take the win in the second session. Thanks for a great match!" -- Kate
Player Comments:
- "Sergio and I have played a good few times and have a lot of close matches with the first set following that pattern. In the end it went to a tie break which I managed to edge. The second set was a bit less close but still lots of good rallies, with the score not reflecting how close the set actually was. Looking forward to playing Sergio again in the near future!" -- Joshua
Player Comments:

- "Jamal and I completed our match in way better weather conditions than when we started out. This time - what luxury - our baselines weren't underwater!" -- Flora
Player Comments:
- "A pleasure to meet Beth. Match was closely fought in the beginning with some close fought games then I managed to pull ahead." -- Angus
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet Sara for my first ever local league tennis match. Was a hardly fought match that was left in the balance and could go either way..." -- Angus
- "Was lucky to be more warmed up for the match restart was and able to grab the victory." -- Angus
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet Jon. Extremely competitive and gruelling match with lots of long rallies that deserved a third set... I'm pleased we preponed it when we did as I was dead on my feat. " -- Angus
Player Comments:
- "Great game thanks Beth. The score did not reflect the standard of the rallies played for sure. Also one of the coldest tennis matches we will maybe every play!" -- Jon
Player Comments:
- "Great to meet Flora Very closely fought with lots of long rallies the score in the 2nd set does not portray how close the match sets were." -- Angus
Player Comments:
- "Beth only sparked into life when I was serving at 5-0 and 40-30 in the first set. Similar story when I was serving at 4-1 in the second! Beth definitely started to play a lot better (and show her quality) and we had some great rallies with some great shots (one memorable reflex volley off a fierce backhand pass from Beth standing out). Great to see you again, thanks for a fun match & all the best with your remaining matches, Beth!" -- Jamal
Player Comments:
- "Very evenly matched on a cold day!" -- Jon
Player Comments:
- "Great match with Sara with several long rallies - very difficult to get the ball past her! The normal Achilles' heels (for me) of being a set up and losing a match tie-break. Thanks and lovely to meet you - congrats on your 1st LTL win, Sara!" -- Jamal
Player Comments:
- "Fun match, with some hard fought rallies." -- Sam
Player Comments:
- "It was nice to meet Jon hope to do it again some time soon." -- Angus
