Match Report
Match Report - 18 May 2009, Wrexham Lawn Tennis Club Mens Wrexham B Team drew with Wrexham C
A weird night for tennis with a tropical downpour 30 mins before the match was due to start. With the courts squeegeed though the match got under way and Jos & Daz took on Steve & Sam Hayes. Daz was complaining about the fact that the racket he was using weighed 20g more than his usual ones - blooming excuses!
A good start by Steve and Sam took them 5-2 up but a spirited fight back brought J&D back to 6-5. Rain halted play again and on restarting the inevitable tie break happened and Steve took the 1st set. Wrexham C soon went 1 match up.
Phil and Sam took on Pete & Paul and managed a solid win levelling the score at 1 match all.
The second set of matches started badly for J&D with them trailing 1-4 but some great serving from Daz and one or two net shots from Jos pulled the 1st set their way. A similar second set saw J&D trailing again but some following a similar pattern they won the 2nd set taking Wrexham B 2-1 up.
Phil & Sam started a very tight second match and the first set was taken to a tie break where they were narrowly pipped. The second set was equally tight and some great rallies were played at the net with some great points going both ways. Unfortunately rain started to fall again towards the end of this second set and at 6-6 Phil didn't feel happy playing on the slippy surface.
They therefore conceded the match and the night was levelled at 2-2.
