Player Comments:
- "A tough game that took me a while to get going. Tadas was hitting clean and giving me the run around the court but fortunately I could keep calm and keep forcing him to play shots on the run. Really enjoyable match - still feeling the affects 2 days later!" -- Anees
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable match. Seth's spin had me in trouble on a skiddy surface. Fought back well whenever I thought I had ascendancy. Overall a very hard-fought match but commend Seth on his victory. He commanded the last set to see it through to victory." -- Anees

Player Comments:
- "Unfortunately, the first set was played on a wet and very unpredictable surface. Thankfully, another court dried out enough to safely play for most of the second set. Faisal played high percentage tennis and built up leads in the first and second set but was unable to convert those leads. A tough match! Well played Faisal. " -- Curtis
Player Comments:
- "Sajeev is a much better player than the scoreline would suggest, in my opinion, but chose to slice off both wings for 99% of his shots. Given the one-sided score of the first set and the fact that during the warm-up Sajeev had a decent topspin forehand, I was surprised he did not change tactics. I have no doubt the match would've been more competitive had he changed his tactics. I guess that's tennis for you. " -- Curtis
Player Comments:
- "Another glorious day for tennis. A competitive first set with a number of breaks of serves early on. The first set was seemingly decisive and decided on a long ninth game on Kamran's serve with there being several game and break points. Some quality winners and rallies from both sides. Look forward to meeting up and having a hit again very soon. " -- Curtis
Player Comments:
- "Match was played on a tricky surface that offered a lot of spin despite it being sticky after overnight rain. Kamran started well but Sajeev took the lead and played really well with his slices and drop shots to take the score to 5-3. Kamran raised his game and managed to win 10 straight games to take the match. Well played Sajeev! " -- Kamran

Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "This was an enjoyable game, we had some good rallies and both of us can be proud of some well-placed shots." -- Liz
Player Comments:
- "Liz played really well and the score hides how close this match was, she was 4-2 up in the first set with some gutsy play and good control of the points when she moved into the net. An enjoyable match. " -- Mitu
