Bury Knowle Park Tennis Courts

Seb: Really nice to meet and play Victor. I felt i was lucky to win this, victor played really well, aggressive tennis. I think he would have beat me if not for missing quite a few serves. Hope to play again soon.

Sergio: Great game in nice weather today! Congratulations Victor

Fraser: The score definitely doesn’t reflect the match. We had some really good rallies and close games in difficult wet conditions. Look forward to playing again.

Artur: Well done Fraser - you were way of better today in every single aspect of the game that was actually more tight than the result. Congratulations mate so much improvement since our last game :) time to take some lessons lol

Becky: A really enjoyable game with Nick. So many deuce points which meant a tough 2 hour match. Your slice and backhand returns caught me out a lot. I'd love to play again!

Nick: Well done Becky. Too good…yet again! Playing so deep and wide. At one point my racket hit the back fence. My serve really clicked but it came back with interest each time; quoting Tim Henman which isn’t often…

Sanjay Kumar: Very very long rallies....I think, we need to change our games, so that we can finish the points quickly... I am sure, I don't have to go for any exercises in the next 2 days, Ed...

Edward: A completely exhausting war of attrition of two and a half hours. Three points in a row near the end of the second set and one of the points in the final tie break were probably the longest points I have ever played. Don’t worry Sanjay, I will not play so low-risk and patiently next time!!

Nick: Thanks Jamal That was a really hard match for me and I think it could have easily tipped in either direction. I never felt in control of game such were your quick low balls and deft but merciless drops. See you next time!

Jamal: Fun match with Nick on a sweltering afternoon. Nick played some great lobs and drop shots. A great pity for me as I twice served for the opening set at 5-2 and 5-4 (with two set points) but, as often happens, nerves got the better of me but Nick played pretty clutch on the critical points and I crumbled very badly in the match tie-break. I'm still looking for my first win in Oxford this year..... Thanks for a great match and for coming to Headington, Nick!

Becky: A long and gruelling game, including a second set when I was pleased to come back from 4-0 down I just about edged it in the end as I think I was slightly less exhausted

Gaurav: Thanks Becky, you played very well. All the best, and you played super cross shots. Very hard to manage them.

Gaurav: Thanks, Jamal. It was great rallies and multiple deuce. Top spin and drops as well from you. See you next time..all the best.

Jamal: I thought Gaurav played very well and very consistently today. He definitely deserved to win today. No positives for me but that's been the story of my season so far! This absolute shocker was (another) one to forget! Onwards and upwards for me.... I think!! Thanks for the match and thanks for organising, Gaurav!

Becky: A great game with Jamal. He had some killer cross court shots and deft slice. It was incredibly close at the end. I think winning that never-ending deuce game just gave me the edge! Thanks for a great match Jamal.

Jamal: Becky hit some great backhand returns. She was just too good for me. I led 2-0 in both sets but couldn't hold on - I had a tough time trying to be aggressive and come forward as I was forced back repeatedly by the weight of shot especially the forehand. Great game, though. Thanks Becky!
