David: Well played Sam, tight & tough match again, but you deserved to come through. We will meet again speedy one…until then…good luck with your matches

Sam: Tough conditions with the wind and heat today. Thanks for another great match. It was just as gruelling as the last one. Looking forward to the next one. See you again very soon!

Jonathan: Great game very competitive nice to meet Dan😁

Dan: Some good battles and an enjoyable game but Jonathan was way too much of a powerhouse for me and just kept hitting winner after winner. Well played.

Dan: Well played, Donal. First set was close and some great battles but you got stronger and more consistent as I got poorer and less consistent, so was an inevitable and thoroughly deserved win

Donal: Thanks for the game Dan!

Bartlomiej: Well played Dan you played well! I enjoyed the game especially our rallies at the end as not much worked for me during the match today.. Looking forward to play again in the next league!

Dan: Some much closer matches than score suggests and feel like I got a bit lucky today. Look forward to meeting and playing again!

Gaspard: Great game Dan! Lots of fights as you said but the score also shows my lack of following through with opportunities.

Dan: Really tough game in the heat. Much closer than the scoreline suggests. Lots of deuce games and good rallies.

Dan: Hell of a game and v exhausting to play for 2+hours in the heat. Kinda glad it didn’t go to another tie break tbh, I had nothing left in the tank but Sam’s fitness was immense and he got to everything

Sam: Thanks, Dan. Brutal conditions in the midday heat, but a great tactical battle. Glad we both made it through after two hours. Well played!

Andrew: Very strange and not like our usual close struggles. You seemed to be hitting the ball ok inthe warm up and won the first game handily, but then made loads of mistakes. Will be closer next time!

Dan: Not sure what happened there! Normally we have a super close battle but I was beyond useless today. I’m sure we’ll meet again and hopefully I can turn up next time!

Iain: A really enjoyable game with really good tennis and points, I was only sad that I lost in that I didn't want the match to end! Well played Vish!

Vish: Really enjoyed the game today Iain, some great rallies & tennis, see you on court soon.

Iain: A competitive game in extreme heat. Thanks David!

Steve: Thanks for the game, some really good rallies.

Iain: Thanks for the game Steve, really enjoyed it despite the result.
