Collapse AllPavilion Singles - Round 33 | Thursday 17 January 2019 to Wednesday 13 March 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 13 February 2019)

A brilliant round of tennis across all three groups at Pavilion during this round, with over 80% of possible matches played; well done for keeping things going during often tricky weather too! Congratulations to all the group winners and runners-up. Reading the commentaries suggests you all had to work hard to get there as many matches were competitive three-setters so there's plenty of incentives for the next round - sign up now and we look forward to hearing more about your matches! As always our thanks to the brilliantly run Pavilion tennis centre.

Group Summary:

Lots of high quality tennis played by everyone in Group 1 this time around, with a number of familiar faces and rematches taking place. Uche maintains his place as number 1, winning the group with 5 straight victories, but was given a good run by Ashley, Dan and Joseph who all won three matches making it close for runner up. Ashley just takes silver thanks in part to his bonus points. Well done to everyone for some great matches and some super three-setters too!

Group Summary:

A highly competitive round for Group 2 this time, with some very close scores in a number of matches, great to see so many three-setters taking place, everyone is really fighting to the end! Nigel was right in his prediction after playing against Andrew, who does indeed win the group with 4 strong wins this time, getting double congratulations as he also has a new baby due imminently! Alex finished a strong second, with 3 close wins, 2 of which went to 3 sets, and the other with a first set tie-break, well done. Sounds like everyone really enjoyed their tennis in this round and we look forward to seeing you all again next time!

Group Summary:

Well done to everyone in Group 3, and it's nice to see a few more women playing in this group - they certainly gave the guys some good matches! Congratulations to Guy for winning the group undefeated, with 5 wins, and to Maria, a close second with 3 solid wins to her name. A high number of 3-setters in this group showed how competitive it is and everyone looks to have been made to work for their victories with lots of comments about deuces and scores not telling the whole story!
