Collapse AllPavilion Singles - Round 32 | Thursday 4 October 2018 to Wednesday 28 November 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 31 October 2018)

Another successful round in Pavilion Tennis League with lots of matches played in the sometimes tricky Autumn conditions and some exciting and competitive contests. We were pleased to welcome 4 new players to the group alongside lots of returning players so it was great to have 3 full groups again. Thanks for supporting your local league and here's to the next round!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to Uche for going one better than last round and finishing top of the group this time, finishing one win and one point clear of runner up Nicolo. Their head to head was a close encounter with Uche recovering from a set down to win in 3 sets, as happened in his match against Thomas too. Nicolo had to work for his win against Ashley too while Benji very nearly took Uche to a third set but couldn't prevail in the second set tiebreak. Great tennis everyone!

Group Summary:

This was a bumper group of tennis with lots of matches played and some cracking 3 set encounters! Congratulations to returning leaguer Devrim for topping the group in style with 7 wins, finishing 3 points clear of runner up Sean. Sean had a strong round too winning 5 matches, and he made Devrim work for his win in their head to head including "a mammoth last game"! The match of the group has to be Alex's nerve jangling 3 set win over Charlie with the first 2 sets going to close tiebreaks before Alex pulled away in the third. Great tennis across the board!

Group Summary:

It was tight at the top of Group 3 with Martin and Max both achieving 3 wins, however Martin played 2 extra matches and earned midway bonus points for match scheduling to finish 2 points clear. Kudos to Max though for winning their head to head in 2 sets following a close first set tiebreak, a pattern which was mirrored in Martin's win over Maria. Jim and Martin enjoyed Algarve-like sunny conditions for their match... here's hoping for more of those in the next round!
