Sebastien Scaux said 10is Academy Mixed team displayed the, “best performance we have had this year” as his side welcomed Ely Tennis Club in the local derby.
In a game full of quality and excitement, neither side were able to grab the opportunity that could make a difference.
Alisa and Lewis drew against Ely TC’s 1st pair in a much anticipated rubber. Despite losing the 1st set 2/6 the 10is pair rallied to reverse the score and take the 2nd set 6/2.
10is Academy’s best chance to take the lead rested on Disa and Richard who won their first set 6/4 but agonisingly lost the second set 5/7 after serving for the match.
“As usual in term of serving and groundstroke we are solid” said Scaux, “but we will have to work on our net play. Without a few loose volleys the result could have been very different but I am really proud of Disa and Richard who gave everything”.
It was a very close encounter with both teams not only drawing 4 sets all but also 37 games all.
The draw against a very strong Ely TC team led to an unsatisfactory conclusion for the 10is team as it ended their chance of promotion despite finishing above their local rivals.
The 10is team has learnt a lot and gain some valuable experience this year.
Training will start in September with the winter league in sight and coming back stronger for the next summer league.
