🎾 Mixed Teams Round-Up From This Week 🎾
A busy night last night for our mixed teams, with Mixed A and Mixed C in action while Mixed B had an unexpected evening off!

Mixed A welcomed Buckden Tennis Club A to our courts. Ayla and James, alongside Becca and Howie, were involved in a closely fought match with several tight sets. Despite a strong effort and some excellent tennis, the team narrowly missed out on a draw, eventually losing 5-3.

Mixed C travelled to St Neots Lawn Tennis Club, where damp hard courts made for a tentative start! The lefties were split with David partnering Susan, whilst Fi teamed up with Chris. Plenty of games went to deuce, but adapting to the unfamiliar surface proved difficult. Chris and Fi finished strongly, taking the final set 6-3, but the team went down 7-1 overall.

Mixed B were due to play Wisbech this evening, but sadly the match has been cancelled as Wisbech can't field a team!

Onwards to the Stella tournament this weekend and the club BBQ - we look forward to seeing those of you who are able to attend there!

🎾This Week's Matches - Mixed B & Mixed C Teams!🎾

A busy evening of tennis last night saw our Mixed B and Mixed C teams in action, while unfortunately the weather had other ideas for the A Team.

Mixed B travelled to St Neots Lawn Tennis Club and came away on the wrong side of a closely fought 3-5 defeat. Tony and Kate battled hard throughout the evening but sadly won just one of their sets. SJ and Matt faced a difficult challenge on the end court by the wall. Despite some great rallies across the match, St Neots edged the match.

At home, Mixed C welcomed Ketton and earned a well deserved 4-4 draw. Chris partnered youngster Harriet, and the pair showed great determination to battle through and win their opening two sets before finding the next opposition pairing just too strong on the night. There were club debuts for both Jon and Lesley; the pair picked up a set against each opposing partnership, including a hard-fought tie-break victory, helping secure the draw for the team.

Unfortunately, the A Team's match against City of Peterborough was called off due to the rain and will be rearranged for a later date.

🎾 Two fantastic 7-1 victories for our Mixed teams last night! 🎾

Our Mixed A team welcomed David Lloyd Peterborough Mixed A to our home courts and produced a brilliant performance to secure a 7-1 win. James and Ayla were unstoppable, taking all four of their sets in style. Will and Helen also had a superb evening, only narrowly missing out on a clean sweep when the final set slipped away 4-6 - much to the confusion of Captain Helen, who was convinced they’d been ahead throughout the set! 😂

Meanwhile, the Mixed B team travelled to City of Peterborough Tennis Club - inspire2coach to face their Mixed D side.
Fi found herself in a re-match against one pair she had only faced last week, this time partnering with another Chris - better known as Chip! One of their funniest moments of the night came during a rally where the opposition smashed an incredible winner down the tramlines. Everyone on court (apart from Fi) assumed the point was over and started walking to the next point… only for Fi to somehow retrieve it on her backhand and place the ball perfectly between the opposition, who hadn’t even realised it had come back! Thankfully the supporters saw it all unfold and were left in fits of laughter! 😂
As the thunderstorms rolled in at half time, a decision had to be made with lightning approaching. Luckily, the break gave everyone time to move into the bubble and complete the match safely.
Piero and SJ continued their strong start and powered through to win all four of their sets. Fi and Chip cruised through the opening set against the second pair 6-1 and looked set to finish strongly when they raced into a 3-0 lead in the final set. But the opposition changed tactics and battled all the way back, forcing a tense tie-break. With the score at 5-6, Fi stepped up to serve… only for the set to end in the cruellest fashion with a double fault! 😅
Despite that late drama, the team wrapped up another excellent 7-1 victory - a result that keeps Mixed B sitting nicely at the top of the Division 3 table! 👏🎾

Another busy and successful week for the club teams!

On Tuesday evening, the Mixed A Team welcomed Wisbech Tennis Club A at home. Unfortunately, Wisbech were unable to field two pairs, meaning they started 0-4 down before a ball had even been hit. The weather certainly kept everyone on their toes, with players darting in and out of the clubhouse between the rain showers!
Becca and Will were first up and got the team off to a perfect start, taking both of their sets. James and Helen then stepped onto court and also secured both of theirs against Wisbech’s only pair. A convincing 8-0 victory for the team!

At the same time, the Mixed B Team travelled to Ketton Tennis Club. Despite three players only arriving at the agreed start time after being delayed by an accident on the A1, there was no slowing them down once they got on court!
Matt and Babs took a little while to warm into the match, losing their first set, but bounced back brilliantly to win a tie-break in the next before dominating the following two sets 6-0, 6-0 against the second pair. SJ and Chip flew out of the blocks with superb 6-0, 6-1 wins, although the first pair proved tougher opposition and they narrowly lost those two sets. An excellent 5-3 away win for the team!

To round off the week, the Mixed C Team welcomed City of Peterborough Tennis Club - inspire2coach D at home yesterday evening. Fi and Chris stormed into action with a 6-0 opening set, although their opponents settled well to make the second much closer at 6-4. Meanwhile, the left-handed partnership of Kate and David started with a tight 7-5 win before running away with the second set 6-0.
Against the first pair, Fi and Chris were involved in a tough battle, narrowly losing a tie-break before finishing strongly with a 6-4 win in the second set. Kate and David were clearly determined to get their money’s worth from the evening, battling to a 6-4 win before emptying the tank completely to take the final set 7-5! A fantastic overall 7-1 victory for the team! 🎉

Well done to everyone who played this week - looking forward to less dramatic weather next week!

What a fantastic afternoon at yesterday’s Women’s Doubles Tournament! 🎾
We had an amazing turnout of 16 women taking part, and it was brilliant to see so many new faces joining in. The pairs were picked out of the two hats - carefully balanced in ability, which made for some really competitive and enjoyable matches throughout the day.
The format saw two pools of four pairs playing round robin matches against each other, with the winner of each pool progressing to the final. Matches were played first to 5 games, with a tie-break at 4-4 and we certainly had a few of them!

The final was contested by Kate & Natalie against Michelle & Fi. It was a close start, with games going either way, but Kate & Natalie eventually pulled away to secure a well earned 5-2 victory. Huge congratulations to them! 👏🏆 (No trophy this year… but there definitely will be one by next year!)

After the tennis, everyone enjoyed drinks and a social on the balcony, complete with blankets - it was a chilly May afternoon.

Thank you to everyone who took part! We're very much looking forward to seeing everybody for the next women's doubles tournament on the 12th September complete with picnic lunch in the garden.

🎾 Weekly Match Round-Up 🎾
A mixed week across the mixed teams this week!
The B team battled to a hard fought 4-4 draw home against Longthorpe Lawn Tennis Club C team on Tuesday night. Babs and Derds found themselves on the back foot early, losing both of their opening sets, but showed great determination to come back strongly and take the next two. Meanwhile, Becca and Matt took one set from both of their pairs.

Unfortunately, the C team’s match against the Oundle Tennis Club B team on Wednesday evening fell victim to the weather and has been postponed.

The A team were away against the Deeping Tennis Club A team last night and came up against some very tough opposition. Club Captain Helen summed it up perfectly:
“They had two v v v v v v good men”
“Ayla and James played very well. Chip and I were mullered!”

Sadly it wasn’t the result they were hoping for, but they’ll be back at home on Tuesday against Wisbech A. The B team travel away to Ketton on Tuesday whilst the C team host City of Peterborough D team at home on Wednesday.

What a brilliant day at the Primett Mixed Doubles tournament!

10 players arrived - a perfect split of 5 women and 5 men who were then put into random pairs.

The tournament was played in a round robin format, with matches being first to 5 games. If scores reached 4-4, it went to a tie break, and if the tie break reached 4-4, it was sudden death! Safe to say there were plenty of nerves and drama throughout the day, with sudden death deciding more than one match!

Going into the final round, Chris and Fi had completed all of their matches and could only sit and watch, knowing results elsewhere needed to go their way if they were to lift the trophy.
On one court, Babs and Ludo found themselves in serious trouble against Alun and Hilary - 0-4 down and then 0-40 down! But then came the famous Babs battle cry, and somehow the momentum completely shifted. Remarkably, they battled back to win not only that game, but the next three as well to force a tie break - which they then went on to win! That result pulled them level with Chris and Fi.

Meanwhile on Court 1, Lesley and Derds were also giving SJ and Jon a huge scare, racing into a 4-0 lead and then going 30-0 up. At that point, SJ overheard Chris shouting “Come on Derds, just 2 more points!” and suddenly realised exactly who Chris and Fi needed to win! 😂

As quickly as the wind changed direction throughout the day, so did the momentum. SJ and Jon clawed their way back to force yet another tie break, while Chris buried his head in his hands on the sidelines!

At the end of the day, SJ and Jon came through to be crowned Primett Mixed Doubles champions 🏆👏
Chris & Fi and Babs & Ludo finished as joint runners-up after an incredible day of tennis.

A special congratulations to Jon on his maiden tournament victory at the club! And as you’ll see from the video… he wasted absolutely no time rubbing it in to Alun on the balcony afterwards! 😂🎥

📣 This week's match results! 📣

Tuesday night saw the Mixed A Team taking on the City of Peterborough Tennis Club - inspire2coach B team (are you keeping up with how many Peterborough teams we play against?!)

Babs with James and Becca with Will fought hard with some very long sets. Between them they had three sets that went to 5-7 and one with a tie break! Sadly they came away with just one set and took a 1-7 loss overall.

Onto Wednesday night and it wasn't to be for the Mixed C team; the high probability of rain in Wisbech meant they didn't travel so Jon Read and Lesley will have to wait for their debut with the club.

The Mixed B Team welcomed Oundle Tennis Club B Team to our courts. Becca in for a 2nd night played with husband Matt and SJ played alongside Ben. A tremendous 8-0 win for the team meant Matt and Becca's household was a happy one last night! It was lovely to have Oundle stay for a drink in the Hemingford Pavilion afterwards.
