Botley Park Tennis Courts

Dimitar: As good a game as the conditions alowed. Gusty wind made most shots unpredictable I got a but luckier in the conditions.

Jonathan: Nice to see Dimi, always a pleasure, but other than that, a waste of a match as very little tennis was able to be played due to the conditions. One end you had to hit it so hard just to get it over the net, the other, you could only tap it or it sailed long, and then there was the sun in the eyes one end preventing me utilising my serve. I play most of my tennis indoors and so struggled to adapt. The conditions the same for both players, but Dimi did so better and therefore deserved the win. I look forward to being able to play tennis next time

Sophie: We should play again when your knee is fully healed Elton. You are great to play with (not that i am a huge fan of your fiendish t serve aces and unreturnable forehands) . Thank you for making me laugh

Elton: I loved losing to you, you are such a character and great player. If anyone fancies a win, hit me up 😀

Can Deniz: I think we challanged with the wind more than each other 😃 Thank you for the game. Hope to play in a sunny day next time.🎾🙋‍♂️

Fiona: Well deservedbwin, look forward to next time!

Will: Great game with Sam again. The weather is wonderful despite the “air quality”. We had a lot of good rallies and it seemed that luck was on my side. Looking forward to playing with you again:)

Sam: Interesting court to play on but we made it work. A close match but Will was too solid at the crucial moments and didn't let me near a set.

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.
