Opening weekend complete

Warm playing conditions for the opening weekend of this year's club tournament and some great matches on show.

 



Highlights included a final set tie break between Eddy and Facer, a thriller between tournament debutant Andy and the prodigious Olly Noble, and another great debut from Geoffrey and Oscar in the Doubles...narrowly missing out to Anthony and Raj.



Savva deserves a mention for first winning a marathon 3 setter against Andy Sheff and then losing another to the might of Alex Summers...a welcome return for Summers junior who appears to have grown about 2 feet and put on 3 stone of muscle since last seen at Oadby Granville!

Shot of the weekend without question goes to Lilia for cannoning a full pelt first serve right into the back of partner (and Brother) Alexander. First class entertainment for the hordes watching on and well done Alexander for taking it so well...

I'd like to say thanks to Louise and Jackie...firstly for agreeing to take part in the singles but then also for putting in a great performance. Chief caterer Louise edging that one.



Some great matches scheduled for the next couple of days. I unfortunately won't be around for much of it so please feel free to badger Sue should anything not be to your satisfaction.
