- "One of my trickiest matches so far. Matthew has a strong consistent backhand so my usual tactic of bash the backhand & move into the net didn't work, so I had to try a range of tactics before I could get something to work. 2nd set 3:3 went on for am eternity after which I found my grove. Thank you." -- Alex
