Collapse AllWoking Singles - Round 27 | Thursday 8 March 2018 to Wednesday 2 May 2018 (Midpoint: Sunday 8 April 2018)
Good to be back underway in Woking in 2018 and although we only had one group this time it was great to see a the majority of matches played and bonus points earned. Thanks for taking part and we hope to see you in the summer round for much more tennis.
Group Summary:
Simon and Benjamin were neck and neck coming down the finishing straight and with their head to head the last match of the round this was a winner takes all affair. Benjamin made the faster start but it was Simon who fought back and after a marathon battle he "fell over the line" to take the victory and with it top spot. A pat on the back also to Rajinder and Guillaume who did well to play all of their available matches.

Player Comments:
- "On a very snowy day, we fortunately had an indoor court booked for our match! We had some awesome exchanges of shots with the net throwing the occasional 'spanner in the works'. and some shots landing too close for comfort in the corners of the court. Thank you very much Guillaume for the great match." -- Dion
Player Comments:
- "An enjoyable whilst challenging match that involved lots of hard fought points, some of which involved lucky placements to be resolved!. Simon really put 'the ball in my court' with his ability to retrieve any type of shot crossing the net. Thank you Simon for the great game." -- Dion
