Botley Park Tennis Courts

Finn: Really fun game, especially in that second set with having to run to so many dropshots and (subsequent) lobs - smart change of strategy from Leigh, but I somehow managed to scrape through the deuce games with a couple of good serves :)

Leigh: Finn too good. Thought I found a tactic to survive in the 2nd but it was to be today. Well done. See you soon

Arda: Great game as always! Very close, barely prevented a come back from Dimitar!

Dimitar: Arda was the better player today, a deserved win.

Leigh: We braved the ice and were rewarded with a lovely game in the sun. Great to meet and play Angus

Angus: Great game - Leigh’s drop shots and consistency was just too strong for me. Next time!

Leigh: A pleasure to play Dimitar, as always. He came out the blocks flying and probably had most of the highlights reel for best shots. However I was able to grind a way through.

Dimitar: Nice game with Leigh as usual, his consistency won the day, well played!

Finn: A nice game in the drizzle! A million deuces which I somehow managed to win with some fairly defensive playing - nice to meet you!

Dimitar: Great game, i really enjoyed it, looking forward to our next match.

Jonathan: Lovely to meet you Dimitar, enjoyed our match and still don’t quite understand how I won!? Good luck for the rest of the season and look forward to playing again

Leigh: Marco under the weather but still nearly grinded out a set point in the second. Thanks for the game Marco

Marco: Leigh played a great match and fully deserved to win. Even if I wasn't feeling 100% well, definitely the best player won today. Well done Leigh, always a pleasure to play with you 👏

Sara: Great game with David. We had a long first set with lots of rallies and very good defending from both sides. We started to get tired in the second set but it was closer than it looks. I hope to play again soon.

David: First set was really epic, back and forth and super close but then Sara launched her aerial bombing campaign and I struggled to find a response - a well-deserved victory! Can’t wait for a rematch.

Sara: Great and competitive game with Oly. We had some good rallies. He's a great player with a strong serve and good forehand and backhand. I hope to play again soon.

Oly: Absolute marathon match, I was just outplayed in the end, well done Sara! Legs are gonna be sore for a couple of days after that one!
