Collapse AllMid-Kent Singles - Round 6 | Thursday 23 January 2020 to Wednesday 18 March 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 19 February 2020)
A committed round in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells with 68% of all possible matches played in a friendly, generous spirit! Thanks for all the match commentaries, and here is to the next one, whenever that may be!
Group Summary:
All credit to Simon for playing tennis the day after running a half marathon and to Michael for playing two matches in a day! You are clearly made of strong stuff in Tunbridge and Tonbridge Wells! Simon and Marc had one of those games where the score does not reflect the match ('Word of the day', said Simon. 'Deuce'). Funny hard how hard deuce can be to overcome sometimes! With only one group this time, Anthony soared to the top easily and we need to find him tougher competition next time. Well played and also to runner up Philip in a friendly group with lots of generous match commentaries.
