Collapse AllRegents Park Singles - Round 47 | Thursday 25 June 2020 to Wednesday 19 August 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 22 July 2020)

We had an extra group in this round thanks in part to welcoming 19 new players to the league which is fantastic! It was great to see friendly, competitive tennis return to the courts of Regents Park and judging from the scorelines and match commentaries you had a lot of fun getting out there competing again. Collectively over half of all possible matches were played although participation rates were higher in some groups than others. Thanks for supporting your local league and we hope to see you in the next round!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to Mario for claiming the Group 1 crown in convincing style notching up 5 wins and earning midway bonus points to finish a full 6 points clear of runner up Eduardo. Giovanni won the second set in a topsy turvy 3 setter against Mario, while Mario's only defeat was to Leslie where "we were lucky that we could book another court to play our third set". Markus had a solid round too with 2 match wins and there was a "great and tight match" between Maxime and Giovanni.

Group Summary:

This was a fairly quiet group with one player not getting out of the starting blocks and a number of matches left unplayed but Alex was able to open a commanding lead at the top by winning 4 matches including a hard fought 3 setter against Matthew. Laurent had a strong round in third place, narrowly missing out on runner up spot to Darius by not earning midway bonus points for early match scheduling... which again illustrates the benefits of tennis and scheduling skills in the leagues!

Group Summary:

It was very tight at the top of Group 3 with Leagues debutant Stanislav tied on 14 points with Kerim, both players winning 3 matches along the way... however Stanislav's win in their head to head secured him top spot. Credit to Peter for taking Stanislav to 3 sets and to Fred and Stefano for defeating the new group champ. Lots of close scorelines across the group although sadly one player didn't get started... don't forget to let us know if you're not going to be able to complete the round for any reason and we'll mark you as withdrawn.

There was close competition between David and Rishi for top spot with David's 4 wins and one defeat earning him one extra point than Rishi although it was Rishi who won their head to head. Third placed Anna put David through his paces taking him to a match tiebreak, and she was on the losing side of another match tiebreak by the same score to Vipan... hopefully better luck next time!
