This year was a varsity of astoundingly high quality, with excellent tennis all around and some mighty battles between players.
We had beautiful (if a tad hot) weather and the grass and hospitality were exceptional. A final score line of 12-9 to Cambridge did justice to just how closely fought the occasion was! One noteworthy contribution is from former captain Casper Scheible who will be leaving Oxford with a perfect record in Varsity singles matches! Another exciting moment was when Chris Grassick and Luke Pitman battled back from 9-4 down in a championship tiebreak to win the match 11-9.
Every member of the team gave it their all, with everyone winning at least one runner of the weekend. They really all deserve a mention on here: Olivier Witteveen, Casper Scheible, J Ignacio Perez, Chris Grassick, Matt Maynard and Luke Pitman. Congratulations to everyone involved, and bring on the rematch next year!
