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!

- "Good game" -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "Clear dry winter conditions and a hugely enjoyable match with some great points. Immense serving, forehand groundstrokes and volleying by Guy reversed the deficit and won him the last 4 games of the first set. The second set started level but then I edged a run of close games which extended into the third set to win them 6-2 6-1." -- Devrim
Player Comments:
- "Wet conditions with a slippery court. Again much closer than the scoreline suggests. Some great points with variety of shots, volleying and drop shots including a mammoth last game. Great fun." -- Devrim
Player Comments:
- "Windy and rainy weather made the courts slippery and the conditions very difficult to play tennis in. We both played our best tennis towards the end as the courts were drying out in the sun. Some great points and I edged the last two games at 4-4 in the second set." -- Devrim

Player Comments:
- "Match played in sweltering conditions for October. Some good forehand exchanges and good use of the lob from both sides. A spirited fight back by Alex from 5-1 in the second set but I held out to win 6-3." -- Devrim
Player Comments:
- "A very competitive if not nervy first set that could have gone either way. I raced into a 5-2 lead but was pegged back to 6-6 by some exceptional determined play by Ben. The tie break was similar but I finally edged it 9-7, The game was won by the outcome of the first set. It was a pleasure to play Ben." -- Devrim
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!
