Player Comments:
- "Top match with Alex, who started a little slowly in the first set, but came back hard in the 2nd set with a wide range of shots, moving me around the court and hitting some great winners. Manage to hold on through the tie-break, but was very close indeed - a couple of missed opportunities helped get me over the line. As always with Alex, played in great spirits!" -- James

Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable (and long!) match against George, who is coming back into tennis, so had a little rust to dust off. He had done that by the 2nd set and was hitting the ball very well indeed, with some long rallies and good periods of play from both of us. The final set was very close and all came down to a few points going my way. George is a great addition to the league, being an extremely fair and fun guy to play with!" -- James

Player Comments:
- "A very good game against Andrea who made things interesting in both sets with his deep forehand shots. Details made the difference, as I won the important points when it mattered the most. I am pretty sure we are going to meet again in the future. Andrea doesn't play as often as he would have liked, which didn't help him in terms of consistency. It was also a big test for me, as a mild concussion a few days ago forced me to stop everything and rest, and it affected my vision from halfway through the game. It was great meeting you Andrea, thank you for coming over and hope we play again soon, take care." -- Georgios

Player Comments:
- "Another great match against Phil who has a very solid all-round game, with some great long rallies once again. The score doesn't reflect the match, as there were many breaks of serve in a row, and a lot of stressful moments for the both of us in the first set. My serve got more consistent in the second set, which made things easier for me. Many thanks for having me over Phil, looking forward to our next meeting in the near future, take care." -- Georgios

I started the tiebreak strongly though and quickly went up 6-0 which really made things comfortable for me in the end. Good luck with the rest of your games Alex, looking forward to playing you again soon. " -- Georgios

- "A great match that took us way past 10pm, with some great rallies, that had both of us gasping for air and praying that we wouldn't be the first one to cramp up! For quite some time I thought that we would end up having to stop and play another day. I was fortunate enough to win the important points when it mattered. And we can't wait to play again, we've already making plans for next week. Nice meeting and playing against you Sunil, I am definitely going to feel this in the morning. Good luck with the rest of your matches." -- Georgios

Second set score doesn’t reflect some close rallies. Very enjoyable match and good luck with your other games Andrea. Thanks, Colin" -- Colin

Player Comments:
- "A great game against Colin, who was playing his first game for the LTL competition. Very solid player with a great serve, held his nerve and clinched the first set. My serve got a bit more consistent in the second and managed to hold my serve and eventually level the match. In the 3rd set I changed tactics a little bit and it payed off, I broke and held serve quickly and I was 3 up which helped me relax and enjoy the match more. Thank you for the invitation Colin, good luck with the rest of your games." -- Georgios
- "Thanks for being my first LTL opponent Georgios - I wasn’t sure what to expect but we had a good match up although you ran away with the final set. Great experience for me with Georgios solid game finding great drop shots followed by accurate lobs… look forward to another match with Georgios and good luck rest of this round !" -- Colin

- "What a ding, dong match. The final set was very similar to the 2nd set. In the 2nd set, I served 1st and after what seemed like 20 deuces, Liz broke my serve. Then raced into a 3-0 lead, then 5-2, I broke back and it was 5-4 before Liz held her serve to win the 2nd set. We reconvened on Tuesday 31 January for a 1 set decider. I held my serve, then broke Liz's and got to 3-0, then 4-2, Liz then rallied and was 5-4 ahead before I managed to edge it 7-5. A great match which was spoilt a little by external influences e.g. the players on another court. Good luck in the rest of your matches!" -- Phil
