Scott and James deliver against the MCC

Friday January 25th saw some exciting tennis on the Blue Court, as Scott and James took on the MCC in a National League Division 2 match. James’ opponent, former Cambridge University Ladies’ Captain and world number 2 Karen Hird, only took one game, but this score did not reflect a lot of closely fought points. Scott played Mark Mathias, and scored a tremendous 6-0, 6-0 victory, taking his handicap well into single figures.

The doubles saw MCC fight back, but they were unable to cause much trouble for the unstoppable Cambridge pair, the final score of 8-3 to Cambridge indicating a job well done.

Scott and James in action again on Feb 1

Despite the tricky Queens court, they came through 2-1, Scott winning his singles and the pair taking the doubles. Scott’s handicap is shrinking fast, soon it might disappear. CURTC are now second in Division 2, 7 points behind Royal, and 7 ahead of the third placed Seacourt.
