Extremely competitive match up, Alex and I broke early in the first and went 4-1 up but they battled back to 5-5 giving us a great run for our money! 2nd set was closer than it looks on paper with only one break in it! We were impressed by both of their serves and the way they made the ball pop up! Best of luck with the rest of your games. Looking forward to the next match!! :) Ps.. Golf is a real sport ;) ;)" -- David

Player Comments:
- "Another fun game with Helen and Miriam who both played some amazing shots during the course of our match. Good luck with the rest of your matches!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A still and surprisingly warm February evening saw club rivals facing each other in this much-anticipated first doubles match. As play settled after the first set there were deuces galore in the close-fought second, which could have gone either way but luckily went ours. Avoiding a third set freed up plenty of time for the all-important post match beer. Well played and hope we get to meet again in another round soon! " -- Julie
Player Comments:
- "Av very entertaining match with good friends Jen and Julie at the lovely Steep Tennis Club. The first set was much closer than the score suggested and we had to come back from 3-4 in the second to close out the match. Always a pleasure to play you both and a big thank you to Jen's son Max who came out to support despite the weather. Looking forward to playing you both again in the next round and good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A match played in great friendly spirit despite the drizzling rain. We had to deal as best we could with Ryan's blistering serves and Lucia' s huge forehand returns and were pleased to finish the match in our favour. Lovely to meet you both and good luck with rest of your matches." -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "What a match to start our respective campaigns in this round! Our much greater match experience in doubles helped us to a 5-0 lead in the opening set but thereafter David and Alex caused us no end of problems and we struggled to get over the finishing line. Not only a very enjoyable match against 2 great guys but one that was played fairly and in great spirit. Good luck with the rest of your matches and let's do this again soon." -- Paul
