🎾 WEEK 3 RESULTS ARE IN! 🎾

What a massive week of tennis for our 6 men’s and 3 women’s squads! The men’s side absolutely tore it up, while our ladies faced some incredibly tough battles against top-tier opposition.

Here is the full breakdown from the courts:

🔥 The Men's Squads Clean Up
Men's 1st: A flawless victory! Taking a massive 10-0 win against David Lloyd Westbury 2.

Men's 2nd: A dominant display, securing an 8-2 win over Bath 2.

Men's 4th: A brilliant, hard-fought 6-4 win against Greville Smyth.

Men's 3rd, 5th, & 6th: Faced some brutal matchups this week, coming away with 10-0 losses—but we bounce back next week!

💔 A Tough Round for the Women
Our 3 women's teams left everything on the courts against some seriously strong line-ups.

Women's 1st & 2nd: Both fought hard but came away with 8-2 losses.

Women's 3rd: A tough 10-0 loss, but the score lines don't reflect the epic deuce games!

📸 SWIPE THROUGH THE PHOTOS

Spot the odd one out? 🇫🇷🥖🥐🇫🇷 In honour of the French Open. See if you can spot which team has suddenly developed a penchant for striped shirts, berets, baguettes and cheese. Allez!

A massive thank you to everyone who played, cheered, and drove to away matches. Let's carry that fighting spirit right into Week 4! 💪

🎾 Big Win for the Squad! 🎾
Huge congratulations to the team for a stellar performance in the National Club League! We secured a hard-fought 8-4 victory against Clevedon. The energy was high, and the tennis was even higher.

Here are the highlights from the match:

🌟 Singles Standouts
Ian Matthews was in clinical form, delivering a "double bagel" masterpiece with a 6-0, 6-0 win. Absolute perfection on the court!

Greg showed incredible grit and composure, dominating the first set and then slamming the door in a tight second-set tiebreak to win 6-0, 7-6.

🤝 Doubles Redemption
After some tough battles in the singles, Clement and Louie bounced back in style to help seal the overall victory:

Clement & Ian: A powerhouse pairing that took care of business with a 6-3, 7-5 win.

Louie & Milo: Partnering up with our resident doubles specialist, Milo, Louie helped navigate a high-pressure match to win 7-6, 6-4.

The Big Winners:
A massive shoutout to our Women’s 1st and 2nd teams, and our Men’s 6th team! They all secured fantastic 6-4 victories in some incredibly competitive match-ups. Way to hold serve and finish strong! 🙌✨

The Hard Lessons:
It wasn't our day across the rest of the draw. The Men’s 1s, 2s, and 3s went down 8-2, while our other teams faced some very tough opposition, ending in 10-0 losses.

Despite the scorelines, we saw some great rallies and sportsmanship out there. We win as a team and we learn as a team. Time to hit the buckets of balls and come back stronger next round! 👊💥
