  • "Good to meet you today Dawn and thanks for coming over to Poole Park to play our match. After an easy first set in your favour I managed to take a 3-0 lead in the second but that lead was short lived and you soon got back your consistency of the first. I had no match for your unforced error free play and those accurate drives deep into the corners. All the best for future rounds and looking forward to playing you again in the future" -- Peter

Reveal CommentFlorin Ismailciuc bt Peter Livesey (Sep 15) 6-4, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "A very close match today Pete! 1st set was 1 hour long as we had 2 games lasting more than 10 minutes. I was quite lucky to win some points in crucial moments and that made the difference in my opinion. Even if I should be used with warmer weather I was struggling with the heat today, but at least I got a decent tan. Enjoy your holiday and see you again in the next round!"  -- Florin
  • "Well played Florin. Another close, tough match between us; especially that first set but once again you just pipped me on the crucial points. All the best in your remaining matches It's a tough one to call at this stage but hoping to play you again soon" -- Peter

Reveal CommentSimon Vening bt Dawn Haywood (Sep 9) 7-5, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "We did well to finish this one Dawn, the midday sun was pretty brutal. Impressive consistency throughout the first set (some epic rallies!) and we hit the second hour having played only 5 games. Fortunately for me your pace and execution dropped a notch in the second. Anyhow, keep smiling and enjoying your tennis. Cheers."  -- Simon
Reveal CommentSam Chernanko bt Dawn Haywood (Sep 7) 1-6, 6-3, 6-3

Player Comments:

  • "Dawn was one of the most consistent players I have played in a long while. Her defense was also very good meaning that I had to either blast the ball as hard as I could near the lines or come in and volley to finish off the point which made winning each point very difficult. Some of the rallys were the best I've had in the tournament so far. Thanks Dawn"  -- Sam

Reveal CommentSam Chernanko bt Cliff Sorge (Aug 26) 6-4 Cliff Sorge Retired

Player Comments:

  • "Cliff injured himself in the first game of the second set, I think it was a pulled calf muscle and couldn't continue. The first set was very exciting with Cliff coming back from 1-4 down to lose 4-6, but making me play about 7 dueces in the process. He has great shot positioning from the baseline!"  -- Sam

Reveal CommentSimon Vening bt Peter Livesey (Aug 23) 6-1, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "Finally a hot, sunny August day for tennis at the Poole Park courts. Shouldn't complain really but it was so hot that both of us were soon looking for a shady spot during the change of ends. Mainly because of way too many unforced errors from me, you won the first set easily. Despite reducing them a bit in the second and getting going with my serve and the occasional volley, it was your consistent rallying as ever that won you the match comfortably in the end. Good to see you back on court, Simon and all the best in your other matches. "  -- Peter
  • " Well played Pete, the second set was a real tussle. Great to finally see the sun but I was melting by the end! See you next time." -- Simon
