Reading Tennis League: Singles Round 4

Round 4
Monday 22 August to Sunday 16 October 2011
Mid way point: Sunday 18 Sept 2011

It has been a really busy round, with 73% of all possible matches played, and among these were some very close games to keep things exciting!
Thank you all for supporting the league. We are very grateful for the hard work you put in scheduling your matches and for your efforts on court.

GROUP ONE
Winner: Dustin Cutchon
Dustin deservedly takes his first ever title in the Prospect Park league, prevailing in his final match against defending champion Kevin to seal an impressive win. This made it 5 wins out of 5 for Dustin, and doubly impressive was the fact that he was the only player to complete all of his matches. Kevin put up a valiant effort in defence of his crown, winning three matches inside a week to really put the pressure on Dustin, but just came up short in the final showdown. Elsewhere, Bartosz and Gary picked up some good wins, the latter coming from a set down to beat Edgar in the pick of the round's matches, and there were lots of close-fought sets throughout.
Dustin proved unbeatable though, and he will hope to carry this momentum into the next round - where we hope to see all of you again!


You get one point for every match you complete, one point for every set you win and two bonus points if you complete 3 matches by the mid way point.
