Player Comments:

  • "Great match against David. He’s not been playing much in the last year due to injury, so took him a set to warm up but second was much closer with some very good rallies. Hope you get to play the rest of the matches mate, was good to see you again! "  -- Eren

Reveal CommentAndrew De Csillery bt Pradyumna Jairam (Aug 30) 6-2, 6-0

Player Comments:

  • "A really nice match. As others have mentioned, Pradyumna has really improved over the last 12 months. The first set was very competitive with winners from both of us massively outnumbering errors. Sadly Pradyumna got a a bad blister, which limited his play in the second set. Thanks for the match and hope your hand heals quickly!"  -- Andrew
Reveal CommentEren Ozkan bt Javier Fernandez (Aug 29) 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (8-6)

Player Comments:

  • "Great match with Javier but as Pavel said, he has hurt his shoulder so our rallies were a bit more cautious from either side… meant long rallies lasting over two days to finish the match. Score line isn’t fair on Javier as it could have gone either way. "  -- Eren
Reveal CommentPavel Novotny bt Javier Fernandez (Aug 28) 6-1, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Javier is a fine sportsman. He is suffering from shoulder pain, which limits his game, and it is sad to see. I wouldn't want to play him at his best. Despite his obvious pain whilst playing, he is extremely effective, slicing the ball and changing the pace and shots to throw me off balance, forcing me into errors that I wouldn't normally make. I'd call it annoyingly good! Score line not reflective of how close the match was. Thanks Javier and I hope you get better! Best, Pavel"  -- Pavel
Reveal CommentPavel Novotny bt Pradyumna Jairam (Aug 28) 6-0, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Great to this match on a bank holiday Monday. As Eren said, Paddy is getting better and better and gave me a hard time in the second set, where he made fewer unforced errors than in the first. Some great rallies, and many games going to deuce. Well played Paddy. Until next time"  -- Pavel

Reveal CommentEren Ozkan bt Pradyumna Jairam (Aug 23) 6-4, 6-4

Player Comments:

  • "Nice meeting with Prad again, this is our 3rd time. Prad is getting better each time, especially with his back hand. However, I once again managed to convert the sets, even though Prad managed to come back from 5-2 down. Thanks Prad... until next time. "  -- Eren
Reveal CommentEren Ozkan bt John Jefferson (Aug 21) 6-3, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Great start by John for breaking my serve and going 1-0 up, we then carried on with a similar format until 3-3... I then managed to take the set by increasing my consistency. Second set was again closer than the score suggests, John was unlucky with some of his serving on cruel points. Well played John, good luck with the rest of the matches. "  -- Eren
