Alexandra Park Tennis Courts

Akiko: A nice match with Massimo. My serves gave me a chance to finish the match but your spinning slices were very tricky! Have a great league and hope to hit a ball again.

Massimo: Thanks for the game Akiko, yes your serving was very good and you kept returning everything I threw at you. Well played! Look fwd to another game one day but I need more practice first.

Akiko: Amazingly close match with Fillippo. It was over 2hours and very humid and windy, we survived. I was a lucky one today. Very nice meeting you Fillippo. Good luck to rest of your matches.

Filippo: Akiko played a great game, she’s very consistent and a fighter. I made too many mistakes and played too defensive, and I paid the price! Well done Akiko

Stuart: Really enjoyable, some great points on a bumpy surface! In the best spirit. Thanks Stephen.

Stephen: Thanks Stuart. Lovely game played in great spirit. I look forward to the next one.

Tom: Thanks for the game Jamal. It was more competitive than the score suggests. I look forward to playing again.

Jamal: Tom's being modest! It wasn't a close match at all (I held only serve once in the whole match) and Tom was streets ahead. Well played, Tom. Thanks for arranging.

Bence: Despite the challenging conditions, it was a blast. It was a great game with endless deuces and some really tense, high-stakes moments!

Mat: We had a very tough match. Rain wind sun and a lot of fun. Well played Bence you deserved it!!

Jameel: Akiko really played some nice tennis Great ground strokes Lovely to meet Akiko and all the best with the season :)

Akiko: Amazing ground strokes and strong serves Jameel plays. I was just lucky today, I have to say. Thank you today Jameel and good luck to the rest of your league matches! :)

Edward: Tom just had a break but came out guns blazing, hitting some great winners in both corners. 2nd set I managed more returns and made it a bit more awkward for him. Final tie break edgy, nothing in it.

Tom: First game back after 3 months out. I decided on ‘Blitzkrieg tennis’ with loads of aggression to keep points short after a long time off. It worked and then…it didn’t. Well played Edward!

Sam: As always with Leigh we went three sets with lots of deuces. My lucky wolves shirt was letting me down when Leigh had complete control of the 1st set but I fought back and the third set was very close

Leigh: Sam was on fire during the second and third. I enjoyed it as always. Congrats sam

Sam: Great game, score line definitely doesn't reflect the quality of rallies. We covered the whole court with a lot of variety in shots.

Kate: Match was closer than the score suggests but Sam was definitely the better player today - thanks for a fun (and tiring) match

Duncan: Lovely game in the sunshine. Totally out played by Peter's classy cross courts and impressively consistent quality serve. Really enjoyed the match, thanks Peter!

Peter: Really enjoyable game on a very gravelly court at Alex Park, but a beautiful day! Duncan was tireless and there were five breaks of serve in the second set alone, culminating in me pulling a muscle on the penultimate point of the match! Thanks for a great game Duncan!
