Player Comments:

  • "A perfect afternoon for tennis - warm, hazy sunshine and not a breath of wind. Victoria got off to a great start with a 5-0 lead and after a few long rallies took the first set 6-4. The momentum then switched back and forth in this close match. I took the second set and then we were 2-2 in the third with more than 2 and a half hours gone. A few deuce games that could have gone either way, but went in my favour. A great match, thank you Victoria. "  -- Angie

Player Comments:

  • "After some slight parking dilemma as we hadnt considered early start of match clashing with school run, we played in nice albeit windy conditions today at Lakenham Recreation Ground. Angie made some successful moves to the net and placed her shots well and I got the upper hand a lot on her mistakes into the net I felt. Despite a backstrain towards the end she even managed to come back to a deuce in the last game from 15/40. Impressive play and not surprised to managed that London Marathon too! Thanks so much for enjoyable time."  -- Beate

Player Comments:

  • "Despite worries about our current health and fitness respectively we managed to have an enjoyable match with plenty of breaks for chats to recover in between games. We invariably scored from out respective faults but had a few good ralleys with a few scattered volleys. I also learned from Victoria an encouraging saying by Pete Sampras about double faults going into the net having a more negative effects on your game than if you give the second serve a good push and let it potentially end as long. Wishing us both energy for our next matches, thanks, Victoria."  -- Beate
