Stanley: Great match Will. You managed to get every ball back and made me rally work for each point!! 👍🏾🎾

Will: Well played Stanley. Thanks for the game 👍😊

George: Great match Stanley! Really could have gone either way. Some really cracking shots today. You really came back guns blazing in the second set. apologies for the lucky net cords!!

Stanley: Great match George! Yes it was definitely your day today the NET cord angles were on your side! Hehe let’s have a rematch soon. But well done ! 👏🏾🎾

David: Great game with Mark. Game could have easily gone either way.

Ehteshamul: Great game with Adrian! Both of us had some solid winning shots throughout. In the first set, I found my rhythm early—everything was clicking, and the shots were flowing nicely. Adrian came back strong in the second set, dominating the first five games and taking a 4-1 lead. Luckily, I managed to fight back (with a little help from some unforced errors on his side), and we ended up in a tiebreaker. Funny thing, in the second set, I think we only held serve in two games. The other ten were just constant breaks—crazy momentum swings! Overall, it was such a fun match. @Adrian: I still can’t believe I got to that drop shot and pulled off the winner on that point! That was definitely my favourite shot of the match. Looking forward to playing again soon. Best of luck in the rest of your matches!

Adrian: Perfect weather, patchy tennis but we both had fun today with some great rallies and nice winners. First set was a display of consistency and shot making from Ehteshamul, I couldn't find solutions to his spin, power and accuracy. He threw me a bone in the second set, while I had to become more aggressive and go for risky shots, which paid off for a while, but in the end we were both trying to battle our nerves after failing to hold our serves for quite some time. In the tiebreak I made more mistakes than allowed and Ehteshamul found his rhytm again, including an amazing get at the net. Overall the best player won!

Essa: Egor has fantastic serves and a great backhand. It was hard to return the serves. He has an individual style. Hopefully, I will catch up after the league. Thank you, Egor.

Egor: Nice game, thanks! Essa literally doesn’t make not mistakes making it very hard to fight back. Hope to play after the league.

Vern: Great match John! Lots of tough drawn out baseline battles and consistent both wings.

Jonathan: Great game with some fun rallies, thanks Vern and well played, very consistent. I started too slow in the third. Next time!

Kilian: Really close match, could’ve gone either way. Nice playing against you, Mark! Good luck with the rest of the league.

Essa: Started easy but really challenged me after the first game. It was like i was playing a completely different person. Thanks, Alberto.

Alberto: Took me long to warm up 🤪 Lots of tight games and long rallies. Well played Essa!

Ehteshamul: Thank you, Dave, for an incredible match—one that truly could have gone either way! The first set was mostly in my favour, but from the second set onward, it was a completely different story. Dave came back strong, breaking in the third game to lead 2-1. I regained momentum and pushed ahead to 5-3, but Dave fought back brilliantly, saving six match points and taking the set to a tiebreak, which he won convincingly. The third-set tiebreak was just as intense. Dave raced to a 5-1 lead, but I managed to claw my way back to 8-7. From there, I won three consecutive points to seal the match. It couldn’t have been a better battle! Thanks again, Dave—looking forward to our next game!

Dave: Bravo Ehteshamul, well played. It was a great match. I started slowly but managed to make a match of it in the end. Definitely going to sit down and chill after all that running. All the best for the league.

Essa: It was a fun game with Alvin, which was very unpredictable, which kept me focused on the game. Thanks Alvin

Alvin: Excellent in sanding the returns wherever the direction he wanted. Well deserve to win.
