Player Comments:
- "An absolute pleasure to meet and get to know David in our first ever meeting. It took David a few games to settle as I opened up a 4-0 lead in the first set only to see him fight back with three consecutive games of his own. David has an impressive serve but I managed to get a lot of balls back into play today which helped me take the first set 6-3. The second set was nip and tuck all the way with some long games that took us to 4-4. I then managed to break David's serve and hold my own to take the 2nd set 6-4. A very entertaining match played in great spirit and some excellent tennis along the way. Good luck with the rest of your matches David and I'm sure we will be on court facing each other again soon." -- Paul

Player Comments:
- "Was so pleased to see Dennis is in my group again, as we always have a cracking match, and today was no different. As usual, it was a hard-fought 3-setter, taking just shy of 3 hours on a sunny and warm afternoon, but our combined age of 111 did not stop either of us battling all the way to the end! I edged the first set and then Dennis battered me in the second set tie-break. At 5-1 up in the third set, the finishing line was very much in sight for me, but true to form Dennis turned it into a nail-biter, fighting back to 5-4 and I only just managed to clinch it at the fourth time of asking. That puts me up 4-3 in our League head-to-head, and I very much look forward to the next duel." -- Terry

She replayed the point as nothing happened. I would have panic for the rest of the match :-) I'm so sorry that Miriam has got a bit of a lack of energy in the second set.

Well done, bearing in mind this is her first attendance to the Local Tennis League round! Exhaustive 2 hours 15 minutes match with only brief breaks for a sip of water. We've experienced sun direct to face while serving, strong wind over battling vital points, and rain, eventually, just to complete the set of challenges brought to us from mother nature on the top of the match itself. But it was great fun, full of joy and fantastic moments. Good luck, Elisa, for the rest of the matches! See you soon on the court for more great tennis ;-) " -- Lyuba

Player Comments:
- "Another very entertaining match with Caron and Lynne featuring many competitive rallies. Glorious day for tennis too and we took the opportunity to play a couple of mixed team sets afterwards which were both very close. Thank you ladies for the game and your company and look forward to a re-match in the next round." -- Paul
