It took about 80 minutes in all, and after all that hard work I was very relieved that I edged the tiebreak - I'm sure Rachel's feelings on the matter were rather different! The second set remained close and also took a good long while, not helped by an interruption to locate another court. Thanks for the match, and all the best with the remaining games." -- Morgan

Player Comments:
- "Our match started in treacherous conditions on court 10 before Emily wisely suggested a nice to the slightly less icy court 8. It was a topsy turvy affair and I don't think either of us could quite explain why the first two sets were so extreme - the third set was much more reflective of how close it was, with many long rallies and sequences of deuces. Very enjoyable." -- Morgan

Such a close, hard fought encounter throughout and some great individual shots. Unfortunately Brendan slipped towards the end of the match and this may have given me an advantage as he recovered his calm. But we were both properly exhausted and in need of a big lunch at the finish. Thanks Brendan, really enjoyed playing again. Hope we both recover well and complete the group" -- Rachel

Wow! What a fantastic group. Unfortunately Yo and Basak had to withdraw, but every single other match was played! That's a fantastic achievement - we know what a lot of commitment and effort it takes to arrange doubles so very well done all. Tim and Yo top the group - congratulations. They tied on points with runners up Kate and Jenny but won the head to head. Almost every match came with a commentary so we were pleased to learn about Tom's rocket like backhand, Amy's aces, the titanic clash between Mark & Michael and Fiona & Diane and an unexpected appearance, mid match,by a small boy dressed as a dinosaur.

Player Comments:
- "Fun friendly match on one of the nicer afternoons of November. Gareth's kick serve out wide was a very tricky shot to deal with, often leaving easy pickings for Jane at the net when we did manage to return it. The scoreline doesn't do the match justice - there were quite a few hard fought and fast paced points that had everyone chasing the corners, but ultimately I think we were just a little more consistent on the day and were fortunate to win some key points early in each set. (It's worth noting that a friendly third set we played afterwards held even all the way to a tiebreak.) Thank you Gareth & Jane, lovely to meet you both." -- Thomas

- "A titanic clash lasting over 3 weeks (take that Isner and Mahut) and ending on a night as cold as would have formed the iceberg that sunk it (the Titanic, not Isner or Mahut). Unfortunately we don't remember the first two sets, so we assume they were a whirlwind of endless deuces as is tradition. Fuelled by pork pies (Mike at least), Fiona and Diane fought valiantly but Mark's first serve actually went in for once to take the 3rd set 6-2 and preserving Mike and Mark's 50% win ratio in league matches. Hopefully see you in the spring if Mike isn't broken from marathon training." -- Mark

Amy and Tom started quickly off the blocks and things were pretty even until Tom's eagerness resulted in a nasty slip on the court's morning dew. He fought bravely through and Amy served some brilliant aces down the line. The match was far more even than the final result suggests and fun was had by all. With a little bit of time left over we even managed to mix up and play a couple of championship tie-breaks for fun.

- "A very enjoyable, if cold, evening of tennis. Gareth and Jane came flying out of the blocks to take a 3-0 lead, with Gareth's slicey serve in particular totally baffling Mark and I. We pulled it back, but Gareth and Jane rallied and took the set. Mark and I managed to put a few games together, and a few extremely points off the net, took the second set. After a brief interlude where Jane tended to a cut finger (who knew tennis was so violent?), Mark and I worked out how to return the slice serve and took the final set with hypothermia setting in. Some lucky shots made this luck more comfortable than it was. Thanks for some fun evening tennis, and hopefully see you for a rematch in 2020." -- Michael

Player Comments:
- "In a match of many twists and turns, ups and downs, back and forths, swings and roundabouts etc etc, Mike and Mark came flying out the blocks to go 4-0 up in the 1st set, closing it out 6-2. Kristin and John hit their own purple patch (although their shirts were blue), going 5-0 up on the 2nd. Somehow finding a 2nd wind (fuelled by Coco Pops), the set was levelled at 5-5 then duly proceeded to a tie-break. Helpfully instructed by John and Kristin (as we have little idea how tie-breaks work), Mark and Mike carried the momentum to take it 7-3. Happily missed the rain, but unhappily only a few games went to duece rather than the usual 12 to 15. Well played everyone, especially John's on fire serve." -- Mark

Tom was slightly handicapped from the start after he cut his hand whilst opening the new tennis balls, then suffered further injury trying a Boris-style slide to retrieve a ball. Undeterred, he and Amy won the first set 6-3. The second set was tightly contested with the wind adding another dimension to the game, but we managed to level the match. After coming back from 2-5 down in the third set, Amy and Tom continued to play some great shots (including 2 aces from Amy) and eventually we managed to win the final game with some fine net play from John.

- "Mark and Mike turned up in matching orange tops and bandanas with all the chat - it felt like we were playing the Bryan Bros!! Lots of deuces but in the end Jenny’s cross court backhand got us the edge and we managed to secure our 2nd win of the day " -- Kate
