  • "A frustrating game for Dave when he felt that whilst he turned up, his forehand had stayed at home….can’t have been too cold for it though Always a good game and enjoyable company!"  -- James

Player Comments:

  • "An incredibly long and tight first game with multiple deuce points but then fewer chances for Ashleigh. Greasy and damp surface made it all a bit of a lottery but still lovely to get a game in - thanks Ashleigh!"  -- James

Player Comments:

  • "Booking courts online at the Canterbury University Website is not very reliable for me at the moment and we were due to start at 5 but my booking wasn't in their system. Fortunately they had a court free at 6 so we watched an American football game from the Pavilion and had a good chat before starting the match which turned out to be over quickly. Thanks for putting up with the booking mix up Ashleigh, and hope you won the quiz night!"  -- David

Reveal CommentJames Fowler bt Lauren Amos (Nov 21) 6-1, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "High gusting winds made this a challenge but the match was far closer than the score line. Lauren’s technique was really solid and with more matches under her belt she will win more than she loses. Lots of laughter as the wind took tennis balls in very strange directions and a very enjoyable match"  -- James

Reveal CommentAshleigh Richards bt Lauren Amos (Nov 14) 6-4, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "There was a heavy downpour shortly before the match was due to start, but luckily the court had dried up enough to continue. The first set was pretty even and could have gone either way. Lauren was serving well, but overall made a few too many double faults. It looked like I was going to run away with the second set going up 5-0, however, with the pressure off, Lauren started playing the best tennis of the match and came back 5-2. Fortunately for me I was able to weather the storm and took the next game winning the set and match. I feel I got very lucky today as Lauren is technically a great player, and if it wasn't for her rather long lay off, I believe the scoreline would have been very different! Thanks for the match and good luck :)"  -- Ashleigh
