  • Was a great match up! Cliff was really good, but I got lucky on the tie-breaker(s). We got on court (at the Walsall Tennis Club) at around 4:15pm and after a bit of warm-up, started the game at 4:22pm. We played two sets. The first set took more than an hour and the second set took almost an hour too. We finished the match at 6:21pm. We had some really good rallies in there with some excellent winners from both of us. Was a brilliant match overall! Thanks Cliff. Looking forward to the next match now :) Bobby - Bobby
