Collapse AllWimbledon Park Singles - Round 37 | Thursday 19 January 2017 to Wednesday 15 March 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 15 February 2017)

A great start to 2017 in Wimbledon with over 200 matches played - this is testament to your enthusiasm to play matches in all weathers! Congratulations to the new group champions and we look forward to seeing what happens in the next round when rivalries are renewed and new ones created. Here's to more tennis next time in the spring sunshine!

Group Summary:

There was close competition throughout this group with no match a foregone conclusion. Andres and Tom E came through the challenges put in front of them to claim four victories each and pull clear of the rest on eleven points. Their head to head therefore became crucial and this was an epic match worthy of determining the champion. Andres fought back from losing the first set to get crucial breaks in the second and third to go on and take the victory and improve on his second place from the previous round. Good stuff!

Player Comments:

  • "A difficult evening to play on with a howling wind. The first two sets were mirror images of each other, but the quality really ramped up in the third. Multiple breaks either way in the final set leave the match tantalisingly poised. Well played Tom - I look forward to continuing! "  -- David
  • "Restarting at 5-5 in the third, we decided to play the set out rather than end on a tiebreak. Backwards and forwards we went until I was able to close it out just inside three hours. Thanks for the great game!" David [NB for technical reasons, the final set score has been reported as 7-5]

In the first set I couldn't handle his powerful serve and forehand winners. At 1-4 I threw the towel in to concentrate on what to do in the second one. I was more aggressive from the begining of the 2nd. one and attacking the net but not able to brake until 4-3. We were both tired and trying to hold for a definitive 3rd. set. I managed Tom's serve much better than earlier in the match and always attacked his weakest points. I'm happy for the win but really it could've gone either way like always with Tom.

Group Summary:

Richard's excellent form continues - another five wins makes it ten matches unbeaten and he also adds the group two title to his name. Can anyone stop Richard's charge? Despite the setback of losing his first match to Richard, Alex bounces back well to win four straight matches and take the runner up prize. A special mention to Henry who was the only person to play all of his matches - fantastic effort Henry!

Player Comments:

  • "On a cold evening, we opted to play indoor at David Lloyd on a nice warm carpet court! As always Matt is a fantastic guy to play, and the first set lasted over an hour without a single beak of serve. The late night kicked in and I was able to gain a quick lead in the second set. Due to the length of the first set with agreed a championship tie-break (first to 10) rather than playing a full third set, and I was glad to keep the momentum of the second set. As always, thanks to Matt for another great battle & good luck with the rest of the group."  -- Ryan

Group Summary:

A spectacular performance from Daniele who was in a league of his own as he cruised through five matches losing very few games - promotion beckons! It was much tighter affair between the rest of the group and Courtney in particular was involved in a number of close contests. Courtney may not have won them all, but those fighting qualities on show won him more than enough points to take second place.

Group Summary:

Paul got off the start line quickly, playing and winning three matches in the first week to set a marker to the rest. But we didn't see Paul on court again and this allowed Nik to catch up and join Paul on eight points at the top. Unfortunately for Nik, Paul's fast start included a victory in their head to head, so it is Paul who takes the crown and Nik settles for silver - well played both!

Group Summary:

All but one match was played in a fantastic group 6 and this only ever adds to the excitement of who will finish where. Douglas emerges as the champion with six wins, but with four of these going the distance this could have been anyone's group. Fair play to Douglas for holding his nerve and finding his best tennis when he needed it. Juan's path to second place was much more straightforward with five straight set wins setting him well on the way, but Douglas just had too much to win ultimately the title deciding match.

Group Summary:

Bart notches up another incredible seven wins to earn maximum points for the second round in a row - who will end Bart's winning streak? This performance from Bart puts space between himself and the rest of the field, however there was little to choose between Mihai and Nicolas in the battle for second. Their head to head may have been one of the first matches of the round but it had a big say in the final standings - Mihai got the better of Nicolas in two tight sets and this victory sends him above Nicolas into silver.

Group Summary:

It's a case of deja vu for Sam as he chalks up four wins and bonus points to reach ten points and take pole position for the second round in a row. However, Julian made sure Sam didn't run away with the group this time tying on ten points at the top, but he misses out on the main prize due to his loss in their head to head. Round of applause to David who showed great enthusiasm to play all of his available matches!

Group Summary:

Mitchell and Byron led the way in the standings and on the court in this round, playing some excellent tennis to pick up win after win. The head to head between the two provided us with the tightest tussle of the group and it was Mitchell who kept those nerves at bay to win the match tie-break by the smallest of margins 10-8. Well done to Brendan who was the only player to earn his bonus points and prize with great scheduling skills.

Group Summary:

Don's "rock solid" tennis resulted in many tight sets, some of which he won some of which he lost, but with four wins he moves into a well deserved second place. However, Pippa had the extra gear required to win a group finishing six victories to the good to cross the line first. Thanks to everyone for their commitment in getting so many matches played!

Group Summary:

It was all plain sailing for Will on the court in this round, as he drops only a handful of games on his way to the number one spot. It wasn't quite so easy for some of the other players in the group who had to battle the weather as well as their opponents - kudos to Louise and Candy and Michael and Jack for getting their matches played in less than ideal conditions. Louise also displayed some fine form to finish as runner up.

The commentaries revealed lots of players enjoying their matches in this group which we always love to see. At the business end of the group Johan recorded a clean sweep of victories to put us in no doubt as to who the winner is. Gill also showed fine form to finish with four wins and the runner up prize. A shout out to Jane who seemed to be involved in the majority of the close contests in this round - a great effort!
