Collapse AllOxford Doubles - Round 9 | Thursday 14 March 2019 to Wednesday 22 May 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 17 April 2019)
A bit of mixed turnout in this round with some pairs playing nearly every match and others unfortunately not making it off the start line. We know it can sometimes be tricky to get doubles arranged so do get in touch if you need any help in the future. Here's to more tennis next time!
Group Summary:
Eloise & Hayyu hardly put a foot wrong on their first appearance in the doubles league, playing and winning three matches without dropping a set to become the undisputed new champs. Theodoros & Stanley and Fabio & Kate both got a win on the board to give themselves a chance of second. Crucially however, Theodoros & Stanley beat their runner up rivals in a "tight, sweaty game" and this sees them claim the silver.

Player Comments:
- "On a day more suited to the Sahara, with a pinna colada or whatever you'd rather. A tight, sweaty game was fought out. Many close games and on another day could have gone the other way. Very sporting opponents. Many thanks. Theo" -- Theodoros

Player Comments:

Group Summary:
Unfortunately not all the pairs in group two made it off the start line which reduced the number of matches played. Nevertheless, Vivian & Jo made the most of their time on court recording strong wins in both of their matches to top the podium. Amy & Robin defeated Diego & Tanya in a "deuce heavy contest" to finish in second.
