Collapse AllWoking Singles - Round 23 | Thursday 26 January 2017 to Wednesday 22 March 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 22 February 2017)

Thanks to all those who got involved in the first round of 2017 in Woking, we appreciate all your efforts to get over 80% of matches played. We hope to be up and running with more numbers next time now the longer days and warmer temperatures are on their way!

Group Summary:

A small group one this time particularly as not everyone managed to get into the swing of things. Well done to Dave, Simon and Benjamin for getting their matches against one another played. Dave claims the group one crown for the second round in a row with wins in both of his matches despite some less than favourable weather conditions. Simon held off Benjamin's excellent comeback to put himself in second place.

Player Comments:

  • "Finally a great day for a tennis match. Lots of long rallies and really had to dig in to avoid the 3rd set as Benjamin came back strong! Enjoyable game."  -- Simon
Reveal CommentDave Allen bt Benjamin Neu (Mar 5) 6-4, 6-2

Player Comments:

  • "Just about squeezed the match in between the showers. Still very windy and occasional drizzle, plus the sun at times right in your eyes at one end. Lots of long rallies on a slow clay court and an especially long first set, which was very close"  -- Dave
Reveal CommentDave Allen bt Simon Ogden (Mar 4) 6-0, 6-0

Player Comments:

  • "Much closer match than the scores suggest. VERY windy conditions made consistent play very difficult. It was actually our third attempt to play a match and we just finished before it started to rain!"  -- Dave

Group Summary:

Elvira showed no signs of nerves on her debut to finishing unbeaten with four wins from four to take her maiden title. Runner up Mary gave Elvira a quick introduction to the league, racing out of the blocks to take the first set in their head to head, but Elvira then showed a sign of things to come as she fought back to take the next two - well played both. Thanks to everyone for their efforts in getting all of the matches played - great work!
