Eltham Park South Tennis Courts

Paul: Fun game with Hugh with long rallies. He has a sharp cross court forehand which made me rethink my recovery and positioning. Last 3 games were also very tight. Really enjoyed our game thanks Hugh!

Hugh: Really enjoyed the match with Paul. Long rallies with good hitting. He was just too good & consistent especially on the big points. His forehand is very accurate. Thanks for the match & good luck in your remaining ones

Filip: As usual very competitve match with Hugh with small margins, every game was like a tiebreak. Managed to improve my serve but the returns were not that good. Hugh was good at the net and lobs. This is probably my fourth Spin match with Hugh and we take turns in winning with small margins. I really enjoy that we manage to improve our game and be consistent. Looking to play with Hugh again!

Hugh: Another tight match with Filip. First set both of us struggled to keep serve & lots of close games. Lots of close games in the 2nd too but neither of us could break the other apart from one break of serve by Filip which was decisive in 2nd set. Well played Filip, very enjoyable as always.

Ben: Cheers Hugh! Great match and don’t think the scoreboard tells the whole story. Lots of really tight rallies and Hugh had me running around a lot with some excellent shot placement. Lots of fun, thanks for the great match.

Hugh: Very enjoyable match with Ben. Lots of good rallies and close games, deuces. Ben’s got a strong serve, forehand & despite a few successful lobs difficult to pass at the net! Thanks for the match, enjoyed it.

Lars: It was great meeting Hugh. Very tight first set and some close games at the beginning of the second. After that the weather conditions worsened quite a bit, but we just managed see the game out. Thanks for the match and good luck for the rest of your league matches!

Hugh: Very enjoyable game with Lars. We managed to stay dry until the last 2 games! Tight first set & lots of deuces at start of 2nd. Thanks for the match & good luck in your remaining matches. Hope you didn’t get too wet going home!

Filip: A good match with Stephen, he is all round classy player, very consistent and technical. Good luck for the rest of the round and thanks for the practice after the match.

Tom: That first set was a battle. I wasn’t able to close it out at 5-2 and Temi fought back. Tiebreak was even until I managed to break Temi’s serve and take it 7-4. I was more comfortable in the second set with my serve coming good when I needed it. Overall that was a really strong test against Temi who gives you very little from his forehand and backhand and moves very well too. Fortunately I was able to put pressure on his second serve from which I was able to win key points.

Temi: Tom played very well, I led 2-0 but then Tom picked up his form and was able to play a very good game, I was able to make it competitive for the rest of the set but Tom won the crucial points and took the first and second set, well played and well deserved win!

Hugh: A very competitive & long match as usual against Filip. I think I benefitted in 1st set as he hadn’t played in a while, 2nd set much closer, lots of deuces. Thanks for the match, good luck in your other games

Filip: A very good match with Hugh in light wind. I am glad third set was tiebreak. Thanks Hugh and good luck in next matches.

Tom: Wet and very windy as well as being slippery underfoot - definitely not tennis weather. We just about got the first set out of the way before a heavy downpour.
