Alexandra Park Tennis Courts

Fabs: One of the closest match I played recently - Tom is great player with strong serves and fast down-the-line shots. Impossible to break. He made me run all the corners despite the wet-ish court. After saving a match point in the second I found a way to play more on the front foot and put more pressure on Toms game. It paid off giving me back more volleyes and smashes and a chance to the super tie break.

Tom: Very well played by Fabio. I just edged the first set and had a couple of chances in the second, including a match point but from that point on, Fabio raised his game to a different level, making no almost no mistakes and getting everything back. I didn’t play too badly although my approach shots and volleys were as bad as they usually are. Fabio outplayed me and deserved the win.

Sam: Another 3hr 3 setter for me... I started strong but knew Dimitar would fight back, and he did. Match could have ended up either way in the end.

Dimitar: Good game with Sam, he deserves the win.

Philipp: Great game against Mark! I was struggling to get any winners in as Mark is just like a wall on the court! Lots of good rallies, good luck for the rest of the season 💪

Mark: Knew it would be tough! I could play the age difference card, but Philipp's all round game was much too good.

Ray SH: Great game. Intensed second set.

David: Fun match! Ray has a lot of power shots in his arsenal, a booming serve and a cracking forehand with high accuracy. Took me a while to get used to them, and just couldn’t get ahead - looking forward to next time!

Ray SH: A great and closed game. Beautiful rallies.

Oly: Really enjoyed the match with David, even though conditions weren’t ideal, lot of leaves on the court and balls that are probably more appropriate for a dog in a park than on a tennis court (my fault, apologies)!

David: That’s quite a whipping forehand! I tried to avoid it as best I could, but you were too good. Thanks for a great match.

Anna: Always a pleasure to play with Sofia - she plays great shots and has a very strong serve. I had several very lucky moments which made the score a bit more flattering than it could have been!! Thanks for the game 😊

Sofia: Sofía: A privilege to play with Anna, such a complete and solid player. Fun and challenging points—congrats on the win! Looking forward to our next match! 🙌🏻

Anna: Fun to play with Elizaveta, with some very close games especially in the second set. Thanks for the game!

Elizaveta: A very enjoyable match on a sunny afternoon. Anna is an aggressive player and the result reflects the quality of her game. Thanks and good luck with the rest of your matches.

Kostantinos: Amazing player. Best game in Oxford so far. Solid player with excellent net approach. Had so many good rallies. I stole first set while being 4-1 down. He deserves a rematch! Good luck in your next games.

David: Quite a duel! Fantastic rallies, and lots of thoroughly enjoyable tennis. At the end of the day, though, Kostas just had the composure to create a well deserved win.

Ray SH: Well play. Great ground strokes.

Boxiao: Had a great tennis match today! Ray played incredibly well — super skilled, patient, and really friendly the whole time. He even took the time after the game to teach me a few tips and tricks, which was awesome. It was a fun and competitive match, and I definitely learned a lot. Many thanks.
