What a round for the massive league that is Wandsworth All Star! Every group was very competitive this round, as demonstrated by unpredictable scorelines, dramatic tiebreaks and detailed match descriptions. The tight battles for the top spot in each group show that our players just keep on improving, and the number of bonus points is testament to wonderful enthusiasm for the leagues. Well played everybody!

Group Summary:

Group 1 played almost all possible matches this round, resulting in some very closely fought encounters! It was incredibly tight between Ollie and Simon at the top of the group, as both completed the round with 12 points. The winner was decided in a tense head-to-head which went to three sets, and which eventually saw Ollie come out on top – congratulations both! This round, James showcased his impressive serves, Tim and Alex had lots of deuce points, and Will and James had some Wimbledon-style action!

Player Comments:

  • "9 times out of 10 Edd would beat me. In fact, he pulverised me for most of the first set in much the same way that George Foreman beat the shit out of Muhammad Ali for the first few rounds of Rumble in the Jungle. The similarities end there as Ali had a plan, whereas I have no idea how I won the first set from 5-2 and a couple of set points down. But the impact was the same, Foreman was knocked out in the eighth round and Edd lost a game of tennis to a vastly inferior opponent. I have to say I'm not looking forward to our next 9 matches as I used up all my luck in this one. "  -- Simon

His resistance was only really broken, along with his serve, in the multi-deuce second game of the second set. Having lost too many matches from a winning position, I am in no doubt that this was a pivotal game."  -- Simon

Reveal CommentAlex Beaumont bt Will Lusted (Jun 12) 6-4, 2-6, 7-5

Player Comments:

  • "I have no idea how I won this match - but a great game! 1st set: very close, with me eventually set point with a shot clipping the top of the net. 2nd set: completely one sided - Will stepped up just as my game completely abandoned me. It was 0-5 before I snuck in a couple of games. 3rd set: pretty tight games but Will raced into a 5-2 lead and had several match points (I think he was even 40-0 up!!). God knows how, but I somehow took him to deuce, won the game and then won 4 more consecutive games to take the match. At 5-5 - and 2 1/2 hours - I half-collapsed in a cramping fit but just about recovered to carry on! Some great (and long!) rallies. Will was unlucky not to close the match out but both agreed it was a great match"  -- Alex
