Player Comments:

  • "Fun match that ended just in time as it was getting dark. Nick’s shots often got back to me before I had to go get my footing from my own serve which made for some interesting shots back. Deceptive score as there were lots of deuce games."  -- Daniel

Player Comments:

  • "Enjoyed my 1st season, so thought I'd give another go a 2nd Potteries season. 1st set played in lovely late Summer conditions, some excellent shots from Bradley-Carter, I might have peaked too soon though as from 5-1 up in 2nd set, Nick managed to go for broke showing fighting spirit to trail 4-5. Best wishes for season 2 & look forward to match 3 next season mate. "  -- Michael
