Collapse AllSouthwark and Borough Singles - Round 15 | Thursday 16 May 2019 to Wednesday 10 July 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 12 June 2019)
Some great tennis was played this round in Southwark & Borough but such a shame to see a few players not getting going at all and group five being so quiet! What to do? But all credit to the other groups who more than made up for it and many thanks for putting in so much effort.
Group Summary:
Many old foes met again this round but Marcel E was on blistering form and taking no prisoners! After playing only a couple of matches last round, he played (and won) 5 this time, retaking the crown we won the round before last! Many congratulations and who can take him on next time! Rodd is runner up once again, well played (though he tied on points with Marcel, he lost their head to head) and many thanks to Gabriel for his sporting comments in his match v Trevor. "Fun match with some good rallies! Unfortunately I was not good enough for most of them." Hopefully you will be next time!

- "Thanks Gabriel. Another very enjoyable game with good rallies " -- Trevor
- "Trevor is too kind. It was 6-2 6-2. Normally I wouldn't bother to change it but we had round 12 in league 2 recently where 3 of us couldn't be separated so it is better if I correct the error now! Still was a fun match with some good rallies!! Unfortunately, I was not good enough in most of them!! Hope Trevor and I will get to play again!,@ -- Gabriel
Group Summary:
This was a relatively quiet group compared with some so all credit to Thomas who managed to play 5 matches! What's more he won them all, so tops the group and can look forward to promotion next time. Well done Alvaro who was the only player to push the champ to a tie break. Marco is runner up who came through two tie breaks in the same match and one three setter. Bonus points only for Chris this time - many thanks for getting those matches scheduled!

Group Summary:
Some great match commentaries in this group, revealing how Mudit played "a blinder" in the tie break against Dominic, how Pablo and Mudit played on the hottest day of the year, and how well Lynn defends. There was quality tennis here! Sergey finished in pole position, five wins to the good so congratulation. Lee is the very worthy runner up and also writes a fine match report! Many thanks.

Player Comments:
- "A good game after a slow start by both. Some good rallies and Mudit played a blinder on the tie break" -- Dominic
Player Comments:
- "Crazy high quality 2-hour long first set!" -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "Good match. We had to come out of the court for 20 min before were able to finish it because there were people waiting for the courts. " -- Pablo
Player Comments:
- "Hottest day of the year. There were lots of djeuces and advantages, but maybe in the key points Pablo seemed to be slightly more consistent. Great fun match. " -- Pablo
Player Comments:
- "Hot, humid and cloudy day. Lee's mental strength, serve and overall play was excellent in the first set. In the second set Pablo managed to come back into the game partially due to a more consistent serve. It was a very close match with plenty of long rallies throughout. Play time was nearly 3 hours!" -- Pablo

Reveal CommentJoseph Packham bt Lynn Temp (Jun 24) 6-4, 0-6, 7-6 (7-0)Player Comments:
- "Early tie break played in set 3 at 5-5 due to time (court closing), but had to put 7-6 in this interface. Great match, thanks Lynn!" -- Joseph
Player Comments:
- "Very good and enjoyable game despite the challenging blustery conditions. A couple of epic points. Lee started well in all three sets but managed to dig in. Second and third sets very tight and could easily have gone the other way." -- Dominic
Player Comments:
- "It was really nice meeting Joe, he played very well, there were some good rallies throughout the match, and the weather was perfect for tennis. He was a bit unlucky to not have won a set and has nice variety and selection of shots!" -- Lee
Player Comments:
- "It was really nice meeting Lynn, there were lots of long rallies throughout the match, and she was really consistent throughout the match, managing to get lots of difficult balls back in play with her strong defense and returning my aggressive shots. It was a very fun and enjoyable game and perfect weather for tennis! Looking forward to playing you again sometime! " -- Lee
Group Summary:
Unusually, no one got their bonus points here though plenty of good matches were played. One alas was unfinished when Neil and Jakub were ushered off court on the final day of the round at 5-6 in the third! And during Wimbledon fortnight too! Ben takes the gold this round (congratulations!), with one of his toughest matches coming fittingly against runner up Benedict who says: "The first set took almost 1.5 hours, with multiple breaks of serve and break backs, and numerous deuce games". Sounds like a tough one!

Group Summary:
Sadly this was a really quiet group with only 5 matches played. All credit therefore to Edgar who was in three of them and many thanks for your efforts. Sorry to see Gavin didn't get under way and Rob only played one. It's always hard to know what we can do to help you get more matches, but please do keep in touch if you are struggling for any reason. Tiago wins the group. He tied on points with Eoghan but won the head to head. Well done.

- "Good first match of the league for both. Bit of a cross-wind to contend with. " -- Rob
Group Summary:
Five players played all the matches here and got their bonus points and free balls, and two did not going at all! What happened! It's always a shame to see that and please let us know if we can help. Nakul and Aitor tied on points at the top of the group with 3 wins apiece, but as Nakul won the head to head, he becomes the champ, and many congratulations. Aitor and Aleksandra had a match in which the first game involved 5 deuces (funny how the first game is often the longest) and he and Amy were undeterred by 20 degree heat. Great stuff!
