Player Comments:
- "An absolute epic match- some of the longest rallies I’ve been involved in..four seasons in a rally - relentless. Great fun but should think James and I will need plenty of R&R. James played very consistently and took a tight first set - I managed to pull out a run of games to take the second set and prevailed in a match tiebreak as the sun set- thanks for a great game!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A bit one sided as the score suggests, but enjoyed playing Alex and I suspect he is going to get better very quickly. Eatch put for him in the next few rounds..." -- Dean
Player Comments:
- " Beautiful sunshine for a game it tennis- nice to meet Alex who I think is playing well for someone new to tennis. Some good rallies and great clay court slides! Thanks for the game!" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Great game! Lots and lots of deuces. Brutal! Thanks Dean" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "Epic and exhausting. Played at the lovely Herne Bay courts but took me a while to get used to the (slow) speed. James pretty easily won the first set, being a machine at the net and making very few mistakes. He makes you work for every single point. Second sey I dug in and survived one match point. The tie break went my way and the third set was only marginally easier as we both gotvtired. Great game with a lovely fella. Thanks James." -- Dean
Player Comments:
- "The comeback had just begun as Alecky succumbed to a muscle injury. I admire the way she remaind aggressive and continued to go for her shots, never becoming negative or dinky. The best way to improve. I enjoyed the game and was looking forward to some powerful rallies before injury struck. Hope you get back to playing soon. Dean" -- Dean
Player Comments:
- "What a great game of tennis with Gareth! I really enjoyed playing with him in a match that had everything. Long rallies, excellent shots and constant changes in scoring. Many thanks for the game Gareth, I am looking forward to playing with you again soon. " -- Alexandros
Player Comments:
- " Windy evening but we still managed some good rallies and points. Alecky hits the ball well and I had to play well to win today. Best of luck in future games Alecky. " -- James
Player Comments:
- "Always a great match when I play Gareth and this was no exception. Very close to having a 3rd set as I crawled over the finish line as Gareth grew in confidence as the game went on. Some of his shots were excellent and I just had to admire them.. I just did enough to win today but it could have been a different story. Fine margins." -- James
Player Comments:
- "Great game with Alexandros, 3 hard fought sets. Alexandros ran all over the court, no where was safe. Great lobbing and around the net... I was relieved to take the 3rd set. Good luck in your next matches Alexandros and looking forward to playing you again " -- James
