Collapse AllWest Ham Park & Newham Singles - Round 29 | Thursday 28 June 2018 to Wednesday 22 August 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 25 July 2018)

80% of matches were played in this excellent round in West Ham Park, so thanks for all your efforts in getting matches arranged. It was great to see both new and returning players get fully into the swing of things and produce some terrific performances across the four groups. Here's to more of the same next time!

Group Summary:

It was a close call for top spot, with debutants Callum and Steve both showing no signs of nerves to secure a trio of wins to finish level on points. The match between the two is therefore a winner takes all affair and it was Callum who walked away with a hard fought victory to clinch his maiden title. A special mention to Jonathan and Giuseppe who made it onto court against all of their opponents - good work.

Player Comments:

  • "The first set was as tight as it gets. On a blazingly hot day, winning the first set was always going to be the key. In the second set, the match settled into attack versus defence. I managed to nick the tenth game to clinch it. Neither of us would have relished a deciding set in those conditions. An interesting clash of styles and a thoroughly enjoyable match. "  -- Jonathan

Group Summary:

A round of applause to Slobodan who produced a terrific performance to win every match he played and deservedly take the gold. Credit to Ahmed who made sure the new champ didn't have it all his own way, winning a set in their see saw head to head to take the match to a third set decider. Mia came second in the wins chart but this isn't quite enough to clinch the silver. Miles may have won one fewer match, but he also added scheduling skills to his game and picked up a point from an epic defeat to Mia to narrowly climb into the runner up spot.

Group Summary:

There were a number of memorable matches in group three, but the incredible 7-6, 6-7, 7-6 battle of the Wadey's (no relation we are informed) was perhaps the highlight of the round. Mike steered clear of the three set thrillers to finish undefeated from his four matches, and with bonus points in the bag too he takes pole position on an impressive first appearance in the league. Richard (Wadey) won his epic with his namesake and also added a couple more victories to his tally to take a deserved second spot.

Group Summary:

Tomaz was keen to make an impression on his debut, playing and beating all of his opponents and earning bonus points to take the title in emphatic style. Nelena couldn't quite keep up with pace at the front but did well to finish with four wins of her own to comfortably come home in second place. Hats off to you all for getting on court for every match and earning nearly all the bonus prizes on offer.
