Player Comments:
- "Great match. First set I was leading 3-0 after that Kevin amazingly won 6 games in the row to make it 6-3 to him. Second set I started a bit better after losing 6 games I managed to make it 6-3 in the end. In the 3rd set the net was on my side helping me winning the key points. Well played Kevin, looking forward to playing again soon " -- Diomid
Player Comments:
- "Almost a full hour for first set with a series of lung busting rallies. Windy conditions made it challenging at one end in particular. Looking forward to finishing this! " -- Philip
- "Had to switch to Tonbridge for the continuation of the match. In the end, my experience of navigating a higher than usual net at the Racecourse pushed me over the line. Very competitive match and look forward to our next encounter Aidan!" -- Philip
