Match Results:
Player Comments:
- "Lovely hit with Eren, as always. Eren struggled with the surface (clay) in the first set and it was COLD! Second set, a different story, off a flying start when Eren took 3:1 lead, before I collected myself and turned it around. Thanks mate and all the best!" -- Pavel
Player Comments:
- "the match was closer than the score" -- Amin
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the match Henry. Was a good hit, just managed to keep all my shots in. Henry has only just started back, just need more matches under his belt" -- Eren
Player Comments:
- "Well played by NJ, he has definitely improved a lot since last time we’ve played. 1st set was very tight but NJ kept his cool and took the set after some very nice and long rallies. 2nd set I’ve improved my game and changed things up… until I went 5-0 up 3rd set before NJ realised and almost made it 5-4. Lucky couple of power shots got me over the line. Cheers again mate" -- Eren
Player Comments:
- "Good match with Amin. Some really good rallies but I was just a bit more consistent. Thanks for the match mate, well played. " -- Eren
Player Comments:
- "Really great game with pavel as always. Some awesome rallies and good hitting from both sides. Really enjoyed the match! Thanks again mate!" -- Jamie
Player Comments:
- "Good match with James G… where he took the lead at 5-1 on the 1st set, with every shot of mine hitting the net or shooting past the line. James also took his opportunities at the net, giving me nothing to work with. I then had to really change my game and started hitting more consistently, luckily taking the 1st set 7-5. Second set I just had to keep this up and start&finish strong…luck was on my side. Very well played James.. good luck with the rest of the matches! " -- Eren
Player Comments:
- "Nice game with James and some really good rallies. Just slightly over powered on the hitting and the serves. Thanks for travelling James! Really enjoyed the game!" -- Jamie

Player Comments:
- "Really fun match with Shaun as he presented many challenging shots and angles I'm not used to." -- Derek
Player Comments:
- "A well played match but in the end I was able to minimize mistakes in the second set. " -- Derek
Player Comments:
- "Abid gets a lot of balls back so we had some nice rallies but ultimately I was more consistent and was able to hit a lot of winners. Well played and thanks for the game Abid. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "Competitive first set, in the second I was able to limit mistakes. Nice playing with you, Constantin!" -- Derek
Player Comments:
- "Joe and I had a quick, but fun, couple of sets. Joe is a bit raw as he's new to the game but it was a fun time nonetheless. " -- Derek
Player Comments:
- "First time playing with Csaba and really enjoyed it. Very competitive and could have gone either way." -- Derek
Player Comments:
- "A great game that was really close throughout - except in the two tiebreaks where I played very well, making just one mistake and forcing some errors from Derek. Well played and look forwards to playing again. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "A much harder fought match than the score might suggest. I had to play very well to overcome the crafty leftie spin that Shaun puts on many shots, not to mention the excellent down the line forehand. Well played Shaun and good luck for the other games. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "A really intense and tough match. Over two hours for 2 sets. Both were very close and turned on fine margins. Key game was at 6-5 in the first set, and Csaba had two three points on my service. I managed to save them, and went on to take the tie-break. But Csaba did not let his head drop and fought all the way through the second set - I managed to break in the last game to take the set and the match. Really enjoyable match, long rallies and games going to deuce. Thank you Csaba. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable hit with Joe although not really a fair matchup given the length of time we’ve respectively been playing. But no doubt Joe will become a good player. Thanks Joe and good luck for the next matches. " -- Andrew
Player Comments:
- "Costa did a great job of defending and getting lots of balls back that I thought were winners! Ultimately my experience counted but it was a nice match." -- Andrew
