Group Summary:

Defending champ Andreas was on a great form this round. Several players pushed hard to dislodge him from the top spot with Holger and runner up Nick in particular pushing him to three sets.

Group Summary:

It could not have been closer at the top of this group with one point between the new champ Sam and runner up Maxime. What's more Maxime beat Sam in a 'tense and close match with many close games and interesting points'. But Sam played and won one more match than Maxime so it's gold for him and bragging rights to Maxime! Well played.

Group Summary:

It's back up the rankings for Euan who wins the group very convincingly. He didn't win every single game - Rishi and Ricardo both came out on top when they played him - but he still finished five wins to the good. With bonus points as well, that put him 3 points ahead of runner up Armand. Well played! Special mention must be made of Yulia, the only person, besides Euan to complete all 7 matches! A great achievement and she was unlucky not to come away with a win.

Group Summary:

Wow! All but one possible match was played here and group champ Michael was the only player not to get bonus points! Not that he needed them. He finished 7 wins to the good. There was the threat of upset along the way with George giving him the 'the toughest match I've faced so far in the league..George is a fantastic competitor". But Michael prevailed to top the group. Nick tied on points but lost the head to head in 'a marathon of a match' in which Nick saved many match points before Michael won. Congratulations to both!

Group Summary:

That means Christina wins and Zoe comes second! Some good natured match commentaries in a friendly group undeterred by the wind (no friend to tennis!) trying to do its worst. Well played all.

In the first set Rashmi allowed me to make up her lead and pull through but thereafter there was no respite for me as she turned up the heat and the velocity.

Harriet was a great opponent who played many excellent winners both from the base line and from the net. It was an exciting match - after the first set the tables seemed to turn and she was causing me a lot of trouble as she went 3 up in the second set. I somehow managed to turn it back around and get more of the decisive points. I was exhausted by the end due to the number of games that finished only after some long lasting deuces.

  • "Really fun playing Yinka on a slightly cooler august evening. The score doesn't reflect the many games that went back and forth on duece and some long rallies we played. In the second set, Yinka really adapted to my style and was playing more tactically - having me run around court a lot, taking me away from the base line! It was really close at 2-2 in that set but after a really close game (with about 5 deuces!), I managed to get up to 3-2 and then maintain my lead. "  -- Zoe

  • "Much closer than the score suggests with several close deuce games. Liz attacked my second serve with gusto so it was fortunate for me that my first serve was working reasonably well. Liz has good fundamentals with solid groundstrokes on either wing and and a good flat first serve but unfortunately served a few double faults. It was also a fascinating, if at times unnerving, experience to play someone so keen to take the net position at any opportunity and volley with pluck and determination. Liz is also a lovely person with a dry sense of humour which makes her a pleasure to play against. Hope you are never discouraged from playing your aggressive net game Liz and hope you always retain your self-deprecating sense of humour - best of luck!"  -- Biswadip

  • "Great match with Bis. There were some really enjoyable rallies throughout and winners from both sides. He was really good at the net with some amazing volleys. Really fun to play and the cloud cover meant the conditions were nice and no rain! Thanks for a nice game!"  -- Zoe
  • "Thanks Zoe really enjoyed (if that's the right word!) your corruscating driving off either wing as well, not to mention your booming serves! Congrats you bossed it you were too good - this time!" -- Biswadip
