Sam: Solid session with Richard. First set adjusting the range, second set good quality with long rallies and strategic points. Thanks for the game Richard

Richard: A poor start by me, but that was down to some solid play by Sam who made me play some high risk shots. The second set was more competitive as i tried to extend the rallies. Sam stepped up his game in the later stages and was a deserved winner. Hopefully we'll play again soon.

Andrew: As with our last game, a tight 3 setter, started in steady drizzle. The final set became tight, with just about all games going to 30-30 and/or deuce. Thanks for a really enjoyable match Dan.

Dan: Great, as ever, to play Andrew. Some fantastic battles and I was about ready to drop by the end of it

Iain: An incredibly close match that had multiple swings of momentum. Dimitri is a classy player with a great forehand and serve. Dimitri had set points for the second set so definitely could have gone either way. Thanks for the great game Dimitri!

Dimitri: Iain is a great all around player with great precision and placement. Really enjoyed our match today we had a few good battles! Hope to play again soon. All the best in your next matches.

Iain: A great game that could have gone either way. Thanks Dan!

Dan: Really enjoyable game and very close in parts but deserved win for Iain. I’ve not played in months so was fully prepared to be useless, so a respectable loss all in all!

Steve: Thanks for a great game. Some really good rallies.

Dimitri: Thanks for the game Steve and for being a good sport and playing some fun rallies afterwards. Best of luck with the rest of your matches.

James: Great game with Iain who dominated the first set. Competitive rallies and a much needed post Christmas workout. Cheers for the game and good luck with the rest of the season

Iain: Really competitive match. I played the best in ages to just take the first set but James was too consistently good overall. Well played James!

Andrew: Thanks, yes it's a shame the final set didn't provide a suitable climax to a really great match, where the first two sets could have gone either way. Really enjoyed it and look forward to next time.

Dan: Great game with Andrew. Was constantly back and forth and some terrific battles. He covers the court amazingly and gets to everything. He was much more consistent and clinical though and thoroughly deserved the win.

Dan: Great game with Paul on a tricky slippy court. Some great battles, especially in the second set, which could have easily gone the other way.

Paul: Really enjoyable game today with Dan who fully deserved the win 👍

Lewis: Very happy to win, liked playing Iain’s top spin groundstrokes and with most games going to deuce it was closer than the score suggests

Iain: Lewis served really well and dominated with his cross court forehand when given the chance. A really fun match despite the reasonably strong wind. Thanks Lewis!

Dan: Always great to play Dimitri. A very close and competitive match in very windy conditions. Easily could have gone the other way.

Dimitri: Even when you are rusty and haven't played in a while you are still very competitive. With a great serve and clinical precise shots. I gave it everything I had today but came just a little bit short in the end. Congrats and good luck in your next matches.
