Top marks to everyone in this group for playing all their matches and the winner and runner up also bagged midway bonus points for match scheduling. Thanks for leaving some descriptive and interesting commentaries too and it was great to welcome 2 new players to Spelthorne Tennis League this round. Keep up the good work next time!

Group Summary:

Congratulations to Sohail for climbing 3 places from the last round to finish top of the group this time, earning his spot with 4 straight set wins. League debutant Harvey was runner up with 3 wins including a most unusual match against Loris which saw the pair exchange bagels (6-0 sets) before battling it out to 7-5 in the third! Loris held his nerve in the second set against Sarah to earn a 2 set win, while Sarah had an impressive win of her own against Joe, prevailing in an "especially tense 2nd set that could have gone either way!"

Player Comments:

  • "What a strange and enjoyable game! Loris was too consistent, particularly on the lob, in the 1st set for Harvey, who couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo - first set down in 15 minutes. Harvey found some inspiration from a toilet break and the removal of some layers. Combined with the effects of a shoulder injury loosening up, helped him take the 2nd set in.... 15 minutes! After the reciprocated whitewashes, the 3rd set was a different affair altogether... Loris gained a 3-0 lead on serve, which Harvey dragged back to 3-3 with 2 good service games of his own. Breaks were traded as the light faded, and Loris was unlucky to be facing serve in the gloom as Harvey held to win a fantastic match. Well played Loris, in a rare type of match!"  -- Harvey
