Collapse AllPavilion Singles - Round 29 | Thursday 15 February 2018 to Wednesday 18 April 2018 (Midpoint: Sunday 18 March 2018)
Two thirds of all possible matches were played this round so congratulations on pushing through despite the weather and completing so many! Well done and thanks to Robby and his team for continuing to make this one of the most welcoming places to play tennis in Britain - no wonder the Pavilion won the LTA Middlesex's Community Venue of the Year Award. Congratulations! (And we love the new booking system too...)
Group Summary:
Congratulations to Uche who was our clear winner after winning 5 out of 6 matches as well as his bonus points. A great return after a short break from the leagues! The race for runner up was much closer with three players finishing within 1 point of each other - but Nicolo's bonus points helped him to secure that runner up spot. A special mention to David who was the only undefeated player in the group and he was also the only new starter so what a debut he had... we're looking forward to what's in store next round!

Group Summary:
A huge well done to Ashley who won 6 out of 6 of his matches as well as his bonus points and so firmly secured his first place finish! Second place saw two players tied on the same points; Tom and Mariano both finished on 9 points but in the end the second place group standing came down to their head to head which Tom won in an epic 3 set battle - 6-1, 1-6, 7-5 (described as a match that 'flipped and flopped'!). Welcome back to Mariano and well done for earning third place!

- "To be continued. Anthony to serve next at 5-5 (facing east)." -- Mariano
Player Comments:
- "Terrific match played indoors on a drizzly day and much closer than the scoreline suggests. Martin was fast round the court and hit a lot of fizzing balls into the corners. Lots of fun, looking forward to the next one." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Great fun match! Jim and I have similar styles and we ran each other ragged round the court. Several long rallies of 20+ shots but in the end I managed to exact my revenge after his victory last season :-) Jim you're a fine opponent and I look forward to playing you again." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Great match with plenty of deuces, net play and heroics. First competitive match we've played together - fortunately our marriage remains intact." -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "It was a tough competive match. Thanks a lot Anthony for a great game and agreeing to play so early. Regards Martin " -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Great match that flipped and flopped all over the place with both of us running down every ball and plenty of long rallies. 2 weeks passed before we could resume at 5-5 in the third and the match could have gone either way. I was lucky to clinch it on the day against a fine player with a beautiful loopy, slicey serve. Thanks Mariano!" -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "A very enjoyable match against Kate, played with snow banked up at the perimeters of the court. Some prolonged rallies." -- Jim
Player Comments:
- "It really tight competitive match marked by some devilish slices from Jim. Thanks for a great match Martin " -- Martin
Group Summary:
Tim was undefeated in this group after winning 4 out of his 4 matches and not even dropping a set so congratulations on a fantastic round! Second place was close between our two newcomers, Sean and Guy, with only one point separating them but Sean managed to secure it with his bonus points as well as winning a set in his epic 3 set battle against Maria; what a first round for them both! A warm welcome back to Bill and Sally and well done for the efforts put in to play so many matches.
