The league is:
- For everyone over the age of 18

Player Comments:
- "Blustery conditions and we were in two minds about whether or not to play. In the end, the conditions probably suited my style (ie lack of topspin) better. After the warmup, I was not expecting to win. Giulio hits very classy and often ungettable shots - especially on the backhand - but many of them were dropping just long when the wind was behind him.

- "This was the 5th time Helen and I were up to play each other in the league and our head-to-head was 2-2. Our last match, some months ago, was epic and Helen completely outplayed me, especially in the third set, hitting winner after winner. I was so much looking forward to this match since Helen has an amazing game and I always have such a great time. This match wasn't an exception and, especially the first set, was very close and of high quality, the rallies were disputed and many could only finish with a winner from either side. The second set started as the previous one but unfortunately for Helen her knee started to bother her and she held back a bit. Excellent tennis, as always with Helen, and hope you do well in your next matches." -- Luis

Player Comments:
- "A hard-fought, close match played in a very good spirit. Many long, enjoyable rallies often won by Nick's great shot next to the R-H tramlines. Due to the number of long games, after 2 hours at Florence Park we found a free court at Alexandra Park for the final set which involved a two and a half mile bike ride for Nick mid match - not easy to get back into the rhythm after that. Thanks for a great match and good luck with the remaining matches!" -- Anna
Reveal CommentJoshua Brewer bt Anna Chamcham (May 5) 6-1, 4-6, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "This was an absolutely epic match, the scene being set in a first game that went to 5 or 6 deuces. The match swung first one way and then the next, with me winning the first set and Anna taking the second set. The score in the final set was not at all indicative of the match, with some long rallies, often ending with frantic dashes to the net to get back drop shots or back peddling to retrieve lobs from the baseline. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable match which was played in a very good spirit. Best of luck to Anna in the rest of her maches." -- Joshua

Player Comments:
- "After some recent failures (e.g. losing a set to Fabio having been 5-0 up!) I was determined to get back to winning ways. We played on fun-filled grass, and Jeremy had the better of me to start, going up 4-1, but I engaged 'Beast mode' and came back hard. To be fair I had the 'rub of the green' (literally) as the ball often bounced unkindly for Jez, and I went on to win 6-4. It all fell into place for me in the second set, and I raced to a 5-0 lead. But then Jeremy got one back, and the demons set in, and for a moment I thought it was all going to go pear-shaped again. But I channeled my inner Nadal, refocused, and pulled through. But it was, as ever, closer than it looks! Looking forward to the rematch. " -- Paul
