Player Comments:

  • "Thanks Florin that was another close match between us. Despite me getting to a 5-1 lead in the first set, you just kept plugging away as ever and pulled back to 5-4; saving several set points in the process before I finally managed to convert one. It looked like the same was going to happen in the second set as you pulled that one back too with several powerful serves, some great passing shots and a couple of rat-tat-tat volley exchanges at the net. I was relieved to get over the line in the end. Wishing you all the best with your other matches"  -- Peter

Reveal CommentPeter Livesey bt Bradley Hutchings (Aug 26) 7-5, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Another long but enjoyable match between us Brad; nearly two hours for the two sets in hot, sunny conditions with the occasional sudden breeze out of nowhere that played havoc with our intended shots. There were many deuce/advantage games that could have gone either way; especially in the first set. Despite getting ahead you pulled back to 5-5 with some great backhands that left me rooted to the spot. The second set was also close and I was lucky to win the ‘vital seventh’ at 4-2 and serve out for the match Wishing you all the best in your other matches."  -- Peter
