Paul: Great game with Rahul. His one handed backhand is very consistent. Good defence too he really picked up in the second set. MTB could have gone both ways. Overall really good game. Thanks Rahul !

Rahul: Really good game that took almost 2 hours. After a nervy first set where Paul was very consistent, i felt like i was being a lot more relaxed in the second. Nerves took over again in the tie break where Paul kept his cool and came back from a deficit and clinched the match.

Paul: 2.2-hour game with Maxim! Enjoyed it very much. Except the second set it was a very tight match with lots of good rallies! Thanks for the game Maxim. See you next time

Maxim: Great game Paul!

Tom: Paul is a strong hitter who can place his serve well. I was able to capitalise on his slow start but he improved in the second set. He was 2-0 up in the second and forced me to find a different level to get to 5-2 before I took it 6-3. My game felt off tonight. My serve did some damage in the first set but let me down at times in the second, notably when I was serving for the match at 5-2. A fun match but one I felt I approached too cautiously throughout. Thanks again Paul and best of luck for the rest of the season.

Julianna: Thanks for the match, lots of running and some long rallies. Stephen had strong and very consistent fundamentals!!

Paul: Great game with Sam although we only got 1h so too short to get him properly warmed up. Hope to play a full match soon !

Sam: Thanks for the game Paul, would have loved to go on to play the second set.

Sai: The score is deceiving. The match lasted 90 minutes. There were many points played to the deuce. Enjoyed playing with Dipesh!

Jeffrey: Super fun game and a good start to the season! Dipesh played well and had some great backhand shots. Second set was tight to begin with (a number of deuces) but managed to break his service game at 3-3 and raced to finish the match. Looking forward to playing with him again!

Dipesh: Great game - Jeffery has a fire serve!

Maxim: What a great game! One of the nicest backhands I’ve played against!

Dipesh: Great game. Nice and consistent shots especially backhands down the line!

Temi: Paul was almost third time lucky against me today, like our last match I had to dig deep and find some moments of inspired tennis to see this match through Paul continues to improve every time we play, I need to practice more!

Paul: Good to play with you again Temi. This time I managed to still a set from you. You know what’s coming next time ! Really enjoyed this game thanks for that !
