Alexandra Park Tennis Courts

Marco: It was a pleasure to play with James, a very kind person! He has a very good technique and the score absolutely doesn't reflect how the match went, we had so many dueces and it was an enjoyable match. Thanks James, hope we'll get the chance to play together again in the future!

James: A great man and an even greater player! It was lovely meeting you today and playing some really great games. Lots of nail biting points, but a well deserved win! Appreciate the feedback at the end too! All the best for the future games, and hopefully play again soon once I have more practice!

Flora: Finished our match with a tie-break in the sun at Alexandra Park and I managed to edge ahead. Thanks so much David for a brilliant contest and very well played - I had to fight tooth and nail for the win!

David: Well played, Flora! Our epic battle reached its conclusion in the cold but with bright sunshine. Quite a contest, but you clearly had it in the (final) tie break today. Very much hope we play again so I can even the score. All the best, David!

Kate: Some surprisingly good points given one person always being blinded by the sun in their eyes! Thanks for the match Sam

Sam: Well played Kate, an interesting piece of imrovised headwear got the job done...

Alessandro: Weather and court were not great but we still had a very good game. Anna always knows how to hit my weak spots :)

Anna: Always fun to play Alessandro, thank you for the game!

James: Great to meet and play Arda this morning. Was lucky today as the match could have gone either way. Conditions were not ideal with drizzle making court slippy. Look forward to playing again in the future.

Arda: Great game! James is being modest, he was just the better player :) Nice playing you James!

Ian: Another hard fought match against David, looking forward to the next one.

David: Well played Ian! Some really good points but you just managed to be more consistent. Look forward to our next match and hope your elbow holds out in the meantime!

Arda: Very close game. Only one game was quick, all others were multiple deuces. The difference was a few balls falling that side or the other side of the net. Thanks Liz!

Elizabeth: Great to play again Arda!

Piotr: Thank you for the game Elizabeth. I had a bit more luck today. You showed some really powerful shots. Good luck with your remaining games.

Elizabeth: Good to play, Piotr!

Mark: Piotr was a tough opponent today with a wide range of technical shots and phenomenal court coverage. I had to work my ass off for every point!

Piotr: Really enjoyed the game. Mark was too stong and experienced for me but good chance to practise. Good luck with your other games.

Serge: When Ralph led 3-0 I feared the worst. Had to adjust otherwise you were cruising! Always fun to play against you, and that leap for the line ball was one for the cameras! 👏

Ralph: Serge is an incredibly hard player to beat. I've tried four times to no avail. It didn’t help that today I played fucking shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit and fell onto my face at one point. But still - great rallies and a thoroughly deserved win.
