Player Comments:
- "Finally managed to meet and finish our Match. 1st set Szabolcs was very consistent and kept pushing me towards unforced errors. Second set i had to come a bit harder but there was nothing in it still, I just managed to break and take the set. 3rd set which then finished today (13th Nov), I had to come in all power and take the lead at 2-0. Szabolcs then started pushing back and defending very well but a few winners allowed me to take the set. We then carried on playing couple more sets and Szabolcs seemed to have found more energy towards the end with his side to side defending and winning some good points. Thanks mate, see you again soon." -- Eren

Player Comments:
- "Hard fought battle over 2 hours, Christophe is a great player and relentless in returning all shots. Second set really could have gone either way and Christophe had 2 setpoint. Had he converted them, I think he would have won the match as he has youth on his side :). Well played Christophe, thank you!" -- Pavel

Strong cross court back hand returns by Andrew on my serves. Great play and hope to play again - will make sure to bring some lovely Hungarian wine to enjoy after. Koszonom szepen! " -- Szabolcs

Player Comments:
- "What a great match, it’s been a while since I’ve played and Andrew made me earn every game. First set I was able to get out to a 3-0 lead but Andrew fought his way back, with some great serving and well played points. Second set was a battle, I was up 5-2 serving for the match and Andrew came back with a break and a hold of serve. In the end I was able to serve it out and take the win. Really enjoyed the match and looking forward to playing again in the future. " -- Justin

Player Comments:
- "Scoreline not reflective of the match and a bit unfair on Szabi, a lot of games went to deuce and I just won vast majority of them. Some superb winners by Szabi and yes that annoyingly good slice on his serve caused me serious trouble in returning. Well played Szabi, until next time." -- Pavel
Reveal CommentPavel Novotny bt Andrew De Csillery (Oct 31) 6-3, 5-7, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Marathon, 3 hour match played over 2 sessions. Andrew played amazingly well, putting me under constant pressure and not letting me hit winners. First set unfair on Andrew, nearly all games went to deuce and I was just lucky to take most. Andrew totally dominated the 2nd set, not sure how I managed to win those 5 games. I improved in the third set; there were a lot of long, quality rallies and superb shots by Andrew, one of them was just world class that I had to go over to his half of the court and give him a high five. Tennis Maestro Csillery! I don't hink I've ever hit such an amazing winner so despite having won the match, I am just a little bit envious of Andrew's shot quality :)" -- Pavel
