Clapham Common: Singles Round 10
Round Ten
Monday 7th March to Monday 2nd May 2011
Mid way point for 2 bonus points and free tennis balls, Sunday 3rd April 2011
GROUP ONE
Winner: Graham Fortune
A clear round for Graham who sailed through four matches without so much as dropping a set. It's a great pity he and runner up Dominik didn't get a chance to play, as we suspect the Clapham Common courts may have hosted a battle royal. A shame too, that Lito and Tasia had to withdraw injured. Damien reported a "Pleasant game with Dave!" says Damien who won a close match in 3 sets and all in all, this was a keenly fought group. But Graham, who won this group back in round 8, wins again. Well played
GROUP TWO
Winner: Spencer Mason
A round of "might have beens" for runner up Chris who actually beat the winner Spencer but didn't quite play enough matches to notch up the points. But Spencer did. He won four out of five matches, and with this and his bonus points, he tops the table to be our group two champ!

GROUP THREE
Winner : Kirsty Jackson
This was the keenest fought group of all with 19 out of a possible 21 matches played, which is fantastic. Everyone played at least four matches, and most people played six! Among them, in the final week was an epic 3 setter between Matthew Brown and Michael Boitier which took two and a half hours. Matthew says.
But it is Kirsty who tops the table. She lost her first match, against Enrico, but won the next and kept on winning. Promotion definitely beckons next round! Well played“It was a great game with so many turning points throughout. The first set was extremely tight and a little bit edgy, and by the third set we were both feeling it a little! But honestly one of the most exciting matches I've played in the 3 leagues I've played in so far.”
GROUP FOUR
Winner Laurent Jollivet
Laurent makes his league debut in very fine style, with six wins in six matches - but we can make it harder next time! Well played in an excellent round, and commiserations to runner up Liam Barrett, who was just two points behind and lost only to Liam.GROUP FIVE
Winner Matthew Dwyer
No bonus points were awarded in this group, so the tennis had to do all the work. On the penultimate day of this round, Nik took on the winner, Matthew and won. That put Nik just one point behind. But with no more time to play matches, Nik could not quite overtake Matthew. He ties for second place with David and Matthew is our Group Five champ!GROUP SIX
Winner Giles Milner
A great round for Giles. another newcomer to the league, he began this round relatively late, a couple of weeks in, which meant he didn't get his bonus points. But then he didn't need them. Once he got going there was no stopping him, and five straight set wins make him a very worthy winner. Well played indeed. Winner Giles Milner
