Collapse AllSunderland Singles - Round 8 | Thursday 9 November 2017 to Wednesday 17 January 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 6 December 2017)

Some very close matches played this winter despite the poor weather conditions, with the whole group making a huge effort to play 80% of their matches in all! Excellent tennis was played and an enjoyable time was had by all. It would be brilliant if you could help us to find more players to introduce another group and expand the player pool! Here's to the next round, Sunderland!!

Group Summary:

Peter made it three group wins in a row with another great run of wins - though runner-up Joe kept up the pressure (in their head to head it took a tiebreak for Peter to clinch the win). Some fantastic tennis was played throughout the group - Istvan also took a set against the champ to a tiebreak - so congratulations on a huge effort from the whole group. Great also to see so many of you earning bonus points! Here's to the next round.
