Collapse AllOxford Doubles - Round 4 | Thursday 29 June 2017 to Wednesday 6 September 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 2 August 2017)

The wonderful sportsmanship of the Oxford Doubles League is demonstrated in the lovely range of commentaries for this round. All players clearly got some really enjoyable as well as exciting matches, with plenty of tight sets throughout the score table! A special mention to all players who scored bonus points. Great to see that there was a lot of sunshine (as well as a bit of drizzle)! Here’s to the next round!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to Andrew & Jack, who secured the top spot thanks to a combination of six match wins and two bonus points! Well done also to runners-up Sherilee and Christopher. Isabelle & Helene vs Giles & Jeremy was an epic three-setter with a tiebreak, Vicky & Anna had plenty of deuce points with Isabelle & Helene, and Stephen & Peter showcased their strong serves against Andrew & Jack. Well played everyone!
