Player Comments:

  • "Match to decide winner of the league so we were both nervous & error prone. I was on a low anyway having just been thrashed twice in two days in the Liverpool league, a sudden awareness that I need better rackets, & waking up with viral symptoms (sore throat & low energy) We can both rally for ever from the baseline. Neither of us could find shots with the pace & angle to hit winners. So I think in the first set I won mainly coz Chris made more unforced errors. 2nd set we both raised our game resulting in some long excellent rallies & some winning baseline shots. Chris was better in baseline rallies I think so the game was decided at the net where I got just a few more winning smashes & volleys than did Chris lobs & passing shots"  -- Rob
Reveal CommentDavid Britzman bt Peter Ferrett (Oct 7) 6-2, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Good to meet Peter over in Birkenhead Park and get our game played. The match was much more difficult than the score suggests with Peter playing some difficult forehand and backhand slices from the middle of the court that made me run a lot. His drop shots and variety of spins were very well disguised and so I often found myself sprinting forward and digging out low balls. I managed to win by keeping good depth to my shots from the back of the court and using drop shots at the right times to win the points. Had a good chat afterwards about the game and I look forward to playing Peter on his home court sometime where I'm sure he'll be even more of a challenge!!"  -- David
Reveal CommentRob Slade bt Peter Ferrett (Oct 5) 6-0, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "If Peter’s appearance, his wild hair and beard makes you think he’s an alcoholic who spent last night on a park bench then you’d be off your guard because he a fit guy who can run & rally all day long and he has all the shots. If you rally with him from the baseline without pace he will dictate play from the T with a massive array of shots: volleys, half volleys, angled shots, drop shots, slice, drive volleys and top spin on both wings. The only thing missing from his game is pace. To counter this my tactic which worked today was to hit deep and with pace to the corners and get to the net. After the match we had a practice set where I played from the baseline and Peter was 5-4 up when we ran out of court time. "  -- Rob
Reveal CommentPeter Ferrett bt Philip Brown (Oct 4) 6-2, 6-0

Player Comments:

  • "It was good to meet Phil. We managed to play outside, very luckily between bouts of rain, in the late evening under floodlights on Thorndale's excellent hard courts. Phil's just getting back to playing this sort of match and I expect when he's played a few more he'll get more games. I expect his forehand drive, which was one of his best shots today, will continue to improve as he gets the feel for the depth of shot he needs to hit it. Today he managed to hit some good winners with it particularly towards the end of the first set. He also got some good points with nicely angled sliced backhands. Like with James a few days ago, my game today seemed to have a distinct bias towards my hitting forehand slice drives. Thanks for the match Phil."  -- Peter
Reveal CommentJames Hooley bt Philip Brown (Oct 2) 7-6 (7-4), 6-3

Player Comments:

  • "It was great to meet Phil and take part in a really close game in very windy conditions at Birkenhead Park. There was literally nothing between us in the first set which I managed to nick on the tie break. (Phil missed a few at the net to let me off the hook.) I managed to get more consistency in my serve which meant the second set wasn't as tight. A competitive game between 2 equally matched players."  -- James
Reveal CommentPeter Ferrett bt James Hooley (Oct 1) 6-3, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "It was great to meet James, we played at Birkenhead Park where the rain, which we'd had on and off all week on Wirral, stayed off, the sun even came out. It was our first meeting and James may have had some problems with my spin and off-pace shots, in particular my forehand slice drive. I'm sure next time we play he'll have less trouble as he was reading shots better as the match progressed. James placed shots well when given a rallying ball and hit some good winners when he got the balance of power and depth right (he was 2-1 up in the second set.) His ability to get to shots quickly is impressive and so I didn't do my dropshot-and-lob much at all today When his consistency and shots improve I expect a much tougher match. Thanks James."  -- Peter

Player Comments:

  • "James played consistently well.and pushed me all the way with some nice touches around the net. Could have done without numerous long rallies in hot humid, energy sapping conditions. James told me he has consciously changed his game to from 'lights out' towards consistency. It was my serve gave me the edge. "  -- Christopher

Player Comments:

  • "Well well, Peter used the damp conditions on clay to his advantage forcing long rallies with his crafty back spin not allowing me to get any pace on my ground strokes. Every point was hard won and we both played - 'let the opponent make a mistake game'. I finally got my game going and finished off the third set. Well played Peter!"  -- Christopher

Player Comments:

  • "Great to meet James and get a good game in on a really hot afternoon in Birkenhead Park. We had some good rallies throughout, especially when the ball was on James' forehand side and he made me hit some good winners to finish off the points. His serve and forehand in particular were very strong and I can imagine them being quite a weapon when he gets some more practice in. Overall an enjoyable game and great to meet James, I'm sure he'll be a much tougher opponent the next time we play."  -- David

  • "Phil has only just started playing competitive tennis but we had some good rallies and he started playing some excellent shots in the second set. We had a good practice third set. Bar closed at 9pm at David Lloyd (?) but we just made it to the Old Hall Farm for a pint (they close at 9:30!) for some good tennis and other talk. "  -- Rob
Reveal CommentRob Slade bt David Britzman (Sep 5) 2-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-5)

Player Comments:

  • "Our usual marathon match. We know how to stop each other playing tennis, or neutralise each other’s good shots or tactics. 1st set David crushed me 6-2 in 20 minutes, both at the baseline where David makes zero unforced errors. 2nd set I won 6-0 in 20 minutes by hitting the ball deeper & coming to the net every shot. 3rd set lasted 2 hours. David adjusted to my net play and started hitting accurate lobs and passing shots. My volleys & smashes must have been by the finest of margins better than David’s lobs and passing shots, to make it 7-6 in games and 7-5 in the tie break to me. It couldn’t have been closer. I think we subconsciously adjust our game to turn it around when losing. It’s our brains that don’t like losing, not our egos. "  -- Rob

Player Comments:

  • "Was buzzing to see Pete in the same group, have always enjoyed playing him and where he plays at North Cheshire LTC is one of my favourite places to play. Petes never gonna hit you off court but his unusual stlye makes sure you have to cover most of it during a match. It was really warm when we played and I was starting to feel the pace in the second set so was glad I could win that one as it felt a lot closer than a 6-3 and I didnt fancy a third. Thanks for an enjoyable match again Pete and look forward to playing again."  -- Paul

Slippery conditions meant I couldn't chase Norman's cleverly placed shots. Norman couldn't run to all my shots but he counteracted this limitation by varying the lengths of his shots and putting me on the backfoot. He won some superb points going past me when I approached the net. For someone who hasn't played tennis for the last 15 years, Norman has impressive shots, clever tactics and consistent serves that always go in! Once Norman improves his fitness and his tennis elbow heals, I am certain that he will become an even more competitive opponent! "  -- Kalpani

Lovely location and on a lovely autumn day too! 1st set I was more consistent and held my nerve to score 6 -0 with few deep shots killing short balls and using all corners of the court. 2nd set and Norman held his serve more successfully with serve to my backhand in the deuce Court which I had difficulty returning and always seem to hit the net.

Ben was ballsy and adventurous throughout the sets, building his confidence against me by hitting great angled shots, down the line and baseline winners and finishing off my second serves! Even Ben was impressed and chuffed with himself with some of his winners:)He definitely hit more winners than I did, I barely hit any but what let Ben down were his unforced errors. He was 3-1 up in the 2nd set but I managed to be more consistent than him. He saved numerous match points and broke my serve but at 5-4 down a couple of double faults and unforced errors gave me the win! Im sure next time we play he will be even better!"  -- Kalpani

He is tactically much better than me, my only advantage being the fact I can retrieve every ball. If James didn't have his knee I am confident he could easily beat a fair few of us! We had a few observers next to us who happened to watch us, and at some point one of them comes to me and says he is a tactical genius!. I think this sums up the kind of tennis player that James is!

We both came into this match thinking it was going to take an hour-it took 3.5 hours! Third set, Lee was up 4-1, but somehow I came back winning it in a tie break. I have to say, if the other opponets are going to be like Lee, I am going to have a tough time! All our games were very competitive and tense. The amount of top spin Lee adds to his forehand is a killer! I just couldn't seem to return those! And on top of that, Lee hit some angled shots with slice and back spin- superb shots! We were both evenly matched so could have gone either way! Thanks Lee, great match!"  -- Kalpani
