Fabs: One of the closest match I played recently - Tom is great player with strong serves and fast down-the-line shots. Impossible to break. He made me run all the corners despite the wet-ish court. After saving a match point in the second I found a way to play more on the front foot and put more pressure on Toms game. It paid off giving me back more volleyes and smashes and a chance to the super tie break.

Tom: Very well played by Fabio. I just edged the first set and had a couple of chances in the second, including a match point but from that point on, Fabio raised his game to a different level, making no almost no mistakes and getting everything back. I didn’t play too badly although my approach shots and volleys were as bad as they usually are. Fabio outplayed me and deserved the win.

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

Artur: Great to play Seb again after such a long time. Nice game with some good quality rallies. Definitely the biggest opponent today was the weather and the top inch of the net stopping so many balls :)

Sri: Thanks Stephen for coming all the way. It was a great game, some good rallies but a lot of laughs too. Hopefully we can play again.

Stephen: Sure, you play really good tennis, I underestimated you. It was fun playing you and will sure play you again. Nice meeting and playing you Sri.

Naison: Good game, fun 3 tie breaks in for practice. All the best for the season

Fiona: Bit more playing and I'm sure Yoshi will improve, enjoyed the game

James: Thanks for the game Josh. I was a bit out of practice but it was a solid all round  performance from Josh this afternoon and a well deserved win. Good luck in the rest of the league.

Josh: Really enjoyable match with James. His backhand slice gave me no end of problems but I was lucky to catch him when he hadn't played for a bit, so he was still a bit rusty. Good luck for the rest of your matches James!

David: Tom has some awesome volleying skills and is a great returner overall. You can blink and find yourself 0-40 down so it took a lot of concentration. Great fun !

Tom: Great to play you Dave. What can I say? I found my serve in the 2nd set and won fewer games! Well done for a deserved win.

Wilson: Lovely game on indoor courts, which was a treat. David has a lovely slice on his first serve, and equally consistent ground strokes. We played some great tennis at points, and never held back on rallies! We played first to 9 games as we were short on time, and I managed to win 9-3 in the end. Thanks again for the game David, and thanks for being a gent with the court situation😅 Play again soon!

David: Yes, was a good game and nice to be inside as it chucked it down. I think we both lacked consistency, but a well deserved win for you even though your stonking first serve was mostly going in the net. I look forward to another match in December!
