Collapse AllWandsworth All Star Doubles - Round 11 | Thursday 31 May 2018 to Wednesday 8 August 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 4 July 2018)

Thanks to everyone who got on court in this summer doubles round. It was good to see over half of matches played, as we know it can be difficult to find a time in the holiday period that suits four people. Congratulations to the new group champions and we look forward to seeing you all again next time for more competitive tennis!

Group Summary:

Charlie & Stefan were given a tough test by Ollie & Fraser in their first match of the round. They sneaked through this epic encounter in a third set decider, and from then on they didn't look back as they powered to three more wins to take a deserved pole position. Ollie & Fraser didn't let the disappointment of losing to the new champs affect their game, subsequently securing a couple of strong wins to claim second place. It would be great to see everyone make it off the start line next time.

Alex Beaumont & Richard Gorman bt Henry Swindell & Patrick Williams (Jun 1) 6-1, 7-5

Group Summary:

Only one point separated first and third place in a competitive group two. Alex & Oliver and Mel & Nick both recorded four victories to top the wins chart but on this occasion this wasn't quite enough to clinch the prize. Crucially Jenny & Don got their matches in early to earn their bonus points, and these added to their three victories and set won in a "gruelling" defeat to Mel and Nick, saw them edge into the lead.

  • "A gruelling match played in swealtring heat that lasted almost 2 hours. Compitive and exhausting with some great rallies and many, many dueces. We had led in the second but were unlucky on a few key points and Mel & Nick staged a comeback leading us to a tight tiebreaker that could of gone either way. A Champions tiebreak decider was hard fought and Mel & Nick managed to edge it. Well played guys and thank you for a great match!" --Don McGill
