Player Comments:
- "Intense game with some fierce rallies. The first game really could have gone eitherways! The second set remained close as but Tom lost just a little bit of momentum into the set and I managed to capitalize! A Sunday morning well spent!" -- Ankit
Player Comments:
- "Excellent match with some very close games. Ryan came back strongly from 1-4 down in the second set to level it at 5-5. I just about managed to grab a win on the last two games which could have swung either ways!" -- Ankit
Player Comments:
- "A very even match with very long hard fought rallies, almost impossible to find clean winners. First set could have gone either way, 2nd was closer than scoreline suggests. Look forward to the next!" -- Mark

Player Comments:
- "Lovely day for it out there, if a little windy and blinding at one side - classic Leaders in the sun. Carlos had all the shots to get the win - especially a right cruncher of a setve that would leave the fence (and me) trembling - they just didn’t seem to land for him today. He was points away from a 3-0 lead in the second but I managed to hang around breaking Carlos’s resolve. Nice to end the league coming home with a W, learned loads on the court with these matches. Cheers all" -- Lloyd Henry
Player Comments:
- "A seriously close encounter, one seriously sunny side of the court and some seriously stunning winners from James. Just about managed to grind out the sets but some of James’s thumping returns will live long in the memory. Whack. New Balls Please. " -- Lloyd Henry
Player Comments:
- "A cracking game played in extremely wet conditions on the famous KGP court 3, an arena said to be on par with that of Wimbledon Center Court. Not only was the rain a factor, but also the constant siege of tennis balls from the juniors lesson on neighboring court 2. I'm not sure who their coach was but I believe they hit more balls into our court than their own. Whilst the option was there to play a tie breaker after the 2nd, we were wet, and the pub was calling." -- Benedict
Player Comments:
- "Really fun game" -- Benedict
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "Wowzer, that was an education out there. Felt like I was up against Federer, or should I say Richard Gasquet... Some long rallies and close games but far too good, Cedric. Well played. " -- Lloyd Henry

- "Superb match played out in baking heat of the mid-afternoon sun. Benedict deserved the first set thanks to his more aggressive play and crackerjack smashes, there was no way past him at net. Luckily, my angles and lobs found the court more in the second set allowing me to build a lead. A nervy match tiebreak eventually swung my way. Best of luck on court in the future and thanks for the game! Lloyd. " -- Lloyd Henry

Player Comments:
- "Great game! definitely felt I had a little advantage as will had played another match before ours. still impressed with all the good shots in the game!" -- Alejandro
Player Comments:
- "Great battle with Ben, lots of enjoyable long rallies and a good test of our technique in the wind. Looking forward to more great games" -- Will
Player Comments:
- "Closer game than the score suggests with many games very close on points. Feeling much more consistent and was the beneficiary of Bobby losing a bit of confidence on the backhand. Looking forward to more matches together. Cheers" -- Will
Player Comments:
- "I hit a streak of consistency this morning - still not a lot of power, but placing the ball a lot better and getting absolutely everything back. Some highlight reel points in the second set as Guillaume activated beast mode and went all out attack at the net. Good luck with the remaining matches!" -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Another 3 set lung buster with Alejandro! Basically wall versus wall - some of our rallies in the third set must have run to 60+ shots as we both tired and just focused on getting the ball in the court. Good luck with the rest Ale - such a close group, I wonder if that point for the 2nd set will be a deciding factor!" -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Feel a bit embarrassed chalking up a win here as Bobby hit by far the better shots and was the more aggressive player. A couple of double faults and missed winners on key points went my way in the 2nd set and tie break. Good luck with the last match Bobby! I’ll try to hit the ball a bit cleaner in our Friday doubles!!" -- Ben
Player Comments:
- "Great and competitive game! " -- Alejandro
Player Comments:
- "Great match with Guillaume. We had so many long rallies, that we both did tire by the end. Both sets could have easily gone either way. Really nice to meet Guillaume and look forward to playing again." -- Bobby
Player Comments:
- "Amazing game with Bobby! it felt like a battle with many intense rallies. The result doesn’t do justice to how close some games were. I was lucky that Bobby’s serve was frustrating his game which gave me a few critical points to win the match. Thanks Bobby!" -- Alejandro

- "This was a very competitive and enjoyable match. It was unfortunate that Miguel had made a few double faults which allowed me to capitalise on the wins. It was otherwise very enjoyable and we had pretty intense rallies. Thanks Miguel and all the best with the rest of your matches. " -- Jenny
Player Comments:
- "I’m the luckiest man in tennis today. Miguel has an incredible serve and lots of great shots but he had already played a match in the morning and so I won through just on energy I think. Thanks for stepping up to play me today Miguel." -- Tom

Player Comments:
- "Great game to end the league with Jane. The first set was a belter with lots of comebacks and endless deuces. I managed to scrape the tie break and take the momentum into the second set. Thanks for a great game Jane" -- James
Player Comments:
- "I had a lot of fun playing Katie! The first set was very close. Katie is really good at keeping the ball in play with pace, and she has a good, consistent serve. It wasn’t easy to hit winners against her, and she doesn’t make a lot of errors. The second set opened up a bit because we played on a wet court, and both of us were tentative in our movement for fear of slipping. I was able to find a few more winners. I hope we get to play again, and I’m sure it’ll be a closer and tougher match next time!" -- Ibrahim

- "Great match, could have gone either way! " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "When the first game of the match lasts about 15 minutes, you know you're in for a long, gruelling battle. Such was my match with Ewa, who it was a pleasure to meet and play against. Ewa possesses a good serve, was extremely good at moving me around. It was quite exhausting! Most of the games were tight, with several deuces narrowly edged out. I also didn't do myself any favours double faulting so many times. All in all, I am happy to have edged out the win, and expect it'll be an even closer match if we do play again. " -- Ibrahim

- "Not finished" -- Robin
Player Comments:
- "Incredibly fun match with great rallies and shots from the both of us. My serve decided to be somewhat consistent today and it made up for all the unforced errors I was making. Jane played great as she really made me work for many points throughout the match. Fortunately, I was able to close it out right before it went completely dark. Many thanks to Jane and good luck in your remaining matches!" -- Peace
Player Comments:
- "It was lovely meeting and playing with Jane at Wandsworth Common. I had a bit of a slow start adjusting to the court and new balls, but was later able to find a bit of my range. Jane is really good at extending rallies, and pouncing on my 2nd serve. I made quite a few errors trying to aggressively close out points. The score line would have been closer if Jane didn’t make a few errors too due to the pace of my groundstrokes. I wish Jane all the best in her remaining matches." -- Ibrahim
Player Comments:
- "Don’t be deceived by the score line, it was anything but straightforward against James, who was a very formidable opponent. I quickly realised it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park after getting broken in my first service game. James has a good serve, and good consistent groundstrokes. I had to adapt quickly, go for my shots more, while recognising when to rein it in a bit. The 2nd game in the 2nd set was crucial for momentum. I was 0-40 down on my serve, acutely aware that I’ve suffered early breaks in the 2nd set in some of my matches. After managing to claw my way back to winning the game, I was able to build on my aggressive returns and pacey shots to close out the match. All the best to James, I quite enjoyed playing against you." -- Ibrahim
Player Comments:
- "Great match with Jane, who is always a pleasure to play- lots of never ending rallies!" -- Katie
Player Comments:
- "Nice meeting and playing with Tom! We used new balls, and it took some time to get my timing right because of how fast they were. The match was also made difficult by Tom, who’s a good hitter of the ball, and is quite good at returning. Ultimately, finding the balance between consistency and going for pace and placement helped me edge it. Hopefully we’ll play again. If it’s at KGP though I’ll have to spray myself with insecticide because of all the flies!" -- Ibrahim
Player Comments:
- "Incredibly competitive match that was decided on the thinnest of margins! The first set was a strong one for James as he stayed steady while I struggled for consistency. I was able to heat up in the second set and was able to take it after breaking in James' last service game of the set. The match tiebreak went all the way down to the wire! Several mini-breaks and long rallies resulted in me edging out a match that really could've gone either way. Thank you very much for the match James and I wish you the best in your future games!" -- Peace
Player Comments:
- "Very enjoyable match - many thanks Robin." -- Jane
Player Comments:
- "It was a good, fun match with Peace. The fact that we are both lefties made the matchup an interesting one. I probably spent the first set marvelling about how well Peace plays for someone who only started playing recently! Peace’s groundstrokes and movement were really good, and he made some of my service games a lot less straightforward than I would have liked. Ultimately being just a bit more consistent enabled me to edge both sets out. I wish him the best in the rest of his matches!" -- Ibrahim

Player Comments:
- "The game was tougher than scoreline implies with numerous deuces, but what typified the match was two points involving me going to the net and Dave lobbing me. First one he lobbed so well I ran back tried to hit and slipped on my bottom....second one I missed the smash but ran back hit it , Dave was ready to wallop it back and it landed on the net and slipped onto his side ( apologies Dave!)
