- "Fun match." -- Greg
Player Comments:
- "Played on Robin Park outdoor courts on the hottest day of the year so far. 35 degrees on court I reckon. It was the Sunday promotion slot so no charge for the court. Plus I finally got my lifestyle card , so I can book courts in future and get a discount.. We both really enjoyed the match today, some very good rallies. Cheers Alvaro!" -- David
Player Comments:
- "We played on the crazy courts of Jubilee Park, Wigan Road, Ashton in Makerfield. Neither of us had been before. They are to be avoided 100%. Firstly, the courts are oversized by a huge amount! They are an extra 2 to 3 foot wider than a standard court and they also looked longer as well. I've never seen that before. Almost as bad was the metal railing they had instead of the traditional net! The height of this 'net' was the same all the way across and was too high in the middle. The ball bouncing off the net could easily do you some damage! So you have been warned. We had a fun match though in a nice setting. Cheers Pawel" -- David
Player Comments:
- "Another intense two sets between myself and Danny, long rallies as ever in the heat of being indoor at Robin Park today. Cheers." -- Steven
Player Comments:
