Collapse AllBath Singles - Round 2 | Thursday 2 August 2018 to Wednesday 26 September 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 29 August 2018)

A good second round for the Bath league, so thanks to everyone who took part for their efforts. There were many "enjoyable matches" described in the post match comments which is always great to see. We'd love to see more players and greater competition on the courts in Bath, so do help spread the word if you can. Hope to see you next time for more tennis throughout the Autumn.

Group Summary:

Caroline was determined to improve on her runner up spot in the last round, playing as many matches as possible and scheduling well to give herself the best chance of success. This proved to be a winning formula as she picked up four wins and a point from an incredible encounter with Terry to put herself clear in first place. Terry fought his way past a couple of tough opponents, including Caroline, to finish on the same number of wins as the new champ, but with no added extra's to his game he takes the silver this time.

Player Comments:

  • "Fenella injured a thigh muscle and felt unable to continue on the evening. I suggested we continue tuesday or wednesday. As she could not make either day left to complete, she conceded the match and their was no argument about this. The match was long and well contested with many long rally's throughout, without being able to attempt a third decider!"  -- Bill

Match of the Group:

Reveal CommentTerry Gillman bt Giles Pocock (Sep 23) 2-6, 6-4, 7-5

Player Comments:

  • "Giles your serve is not only technically excellent but damned difficult to get back into play. A marathon close battle which only came down to a few points in the end. Your clean winners off the forehand were brilliant and hit far too hard for me to reach. A most enjoyable match played in a spirit of fair play with a dash of humour from both of us. Terry"  -- Terry
