Collapse AllAdur and Worthing Singles - Round 22 | Thursday 24 January 2019 to Wednesday 20 March 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 20 February 2019)

Thanks to everyone who took part in the first round of the year in Adur & Worthing where there was a good number of matches played and a friendly spirit on show too. It would be great to see numbers grow in 2019, so do help spread the word if you can. Until next time!

Group Summary:

Andy found his A game to record four wins from four and bonus points, and he caps off a successful return to the league with the group crown. Runner up Aaron made sure Andy didn't have it all his own way, taking their head to head the distance in "windy" conditions. Aaron was also involved in an extremely close encounter with Martin, which he eventually won 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 - great effort both.

Player Comments:

  • "Whoa, this match couldn't have been closer! After coming into the match feeling fairly confident (after previous wins in friendlies with Martin) I played a clutch first set and just took it, before Martin held on and responded by taking the second. Once the pressure set in a tie break appropriately fell into place, but a few fortunate points later the match concluded. Thanks again for another close one Martin, and I look forward to the next encounter!"  -- Aaron
