Collapse AllRegents Park Singles - Round 39 | Thursday 19 July 2018 to Wednesday 12 September 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 15 August 2018)

A good competitive round in Regents Park with some close races for the group crowns and excellent performances from both returners and debutants. Thanks for all your efforts in getting matches played, we know it can be difficult over the holiday season. We look forward to seeing you next time for more tennis throughout the Autumn.

Group Summary:

Stephen was determined to improve on his second place from the last round, playing more matches than anyone else and bagging bonus points to give himself the best chance of claiming the prize. This proved to be a winning formula as he also added three victories to his tally to move clear of the field in first place. Nick also got three wins on the board including a convincing win over Stephen, and finished unbeaten, so what might have happened had he got on court a bit more?

Group Summary:

Ryan couldn't have wished for a better debut, playing and winning all of his matches to take the group two crown with the highest score possible. Stephane couldn't quite keep up with the pace at the front but showed fine form to finish with five wins under his belt to claim second spot. A shout out to Stelian and David who kept all of us on the edge of our seats in their nailbiting 5-4, 4-5, 10-7 encounter.

Group Summary:

Samantha and Michal finished level on points at the top of the table to make it a close run thing for the title. Unfortunately the match between the two wasn't concluded so we need to do some maths to determine the group winner. Thanks to fewer sets conceded on average it is Samantha who takes the applause this time - well played both. Kudos to Advait who takes home the satisfaction of having won a set of the new champ.

Group Summary:

Ritesh was pipped to the post by Diego in an epic first match of the round, but he recovered from this set back to win four of his next five matches and bagged bonus points, to climb into top spot. Runner up Diego finished the round unbeaten, so could he have gone one better if he had played a couple more? Hats off to David and Dylan who got on court against all but one of their opponents.

Group Summary:

Miguel and Francesco finished level on 15 points apiece to make it a two horse race for the title. Their head to head was therefore a winner takes all affair and it was Miguel who held his nerve to come through with a 5-4, 5-3 victory to clinch the prize by the narrowest of margins. Well done to Michael too who finished only one point further back in third place, playing "the best he's every played against James" along the way.

Kudos to Georgia who takes the bragging rights for being the only player to defeat the new champ. Ethan also showed great enthusiasm to get the majority of his matches played, and with a trio of victories and bonus points to his name too he is rewarded for his efforts with the silver.
