Collapse AllBattersea Park Doubles - Round 11 | Thursday 25 May 2017 to Wednesday 2 August 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 28 June 2017)

A closely fought round for Battersea Park Doubles, with plenty of very tight matches - though we could have done with a few more matched played! Nevertheless, players enjoyed some lovely weather while improving their individual skills, and playing some really exciting tennis. It would be good to see more matches played by all groups next round – as the score tables show, getting matches played is crucial, and makes all the difference to the final result! We don't have a magic wand, but we will help get matches scheduled and played if asked...

Group Summary:

The score table is very close for Group 1 this round, showing that our doubles teams were very evenly matched! Congratulations to Scott & Myles who came out on top, and Alasdair & David who were runners-up. James & Charles against Mark & Mark and Simon & Grant against Josh & Daniel had gripping second sets, and Scott & Myles against David & David had a tight first set.

Player Comments:

  • "A great match in which the second set definitely better reflects the closeness of the match than the first. Even in the first set, every game went to 30 or deuce and we were lucky enough to get the decisive points. Very happy that Melissa and Jack were rusty off a recent holiday- would not have been pleasant to receive Jack's serve if it was firing on all cylinders. Thanks for the match guys!"  -- David

  • "We had a really fun match with Alice and Emma which was played in good spirit, despite Alice attempting to decapitate us with the ball whenever we tried to approach the net- net players beware! Our match experience came complete with ballkids who helpfully stood as close to the court as possible so as to better let us know when our serves went into the net. Thanks Alice and Emma (and ballkids)!"  -- David
