Player Comments:
- "Nice to meet James on a cold Sunday afternoon, hard to get going." -- Nikos
Player Comments:
- "Another great game of tennis with Dave. So many deuces, excellent technical shots and volleys in a match that everything. Many thanks for the entertaining evening!" -- Alexandros
Player Comments:
- "Really enjoyable game with Rob. I was fortunate that this was Rob's first game in three years and he was definitely growing into the game with some of his shots. I can see future encounters being closer or a reverse once Rob starts playing more. Even todays game both sets could have swung both ways and were determined by decisive points in the middle of the set in my favour. Rob is a sporting gentleman as I took a tumble towards the end of the game where rather that hit a winner he caught the ball and made sure I was able to continue.. literally I hobbled over the finish line but looking forward to our next game. Good luck in next matches Rob." -- James
Player Comments:
- "Windy but enjoyable match under the lights at HB. Thanks for the hit Nick!" -- DAVID
Player Comments:
- "Love playing with James. So much fun. " -- Philip
Player Comments:
- "Nick has really improved.. The first set he was faultless and I just couldn't get into the game. I kept plugging away to take the next 2 sets but Nick still showed glimpses of his first set. Really enjoyable game.. thanks Nick looking forward to next time already " -- James
Player Comments:
- "Great game as always. " -- Philip
Player Comments:
- "Once again. Very tight game loads of juices. Back breaking tennis 3 hours worth. Non-stop could have gone either way. Thanks for the game. " -- Philip
Player Comments:
- "Always a pleasure to play Val. We had some good rallys and both enjoyed playing this sunny November afternoon. Good luck in your remaing games." -- James
Player Comments:
- "At least there was no wind this time. A competitive game again with Adam. This time I managed to take big lead in both sets but still nerve racking as Adam never gives up any points. The difference today was mainly he made more unforced errors than me but the sets still could have swung as we had many deuce games. Good luck in next game Adam" -- James
Player Comments:
- "Tough game with David in windy conditions. Scores don't reflect how hard Dave pushed me. Relieved to get the win." -- James
Player Comments:
- "Really nice match with long rallies and many deuces. Many thanks Nick, good luck with your remaining games." -- Alexandros
