Player Comments:

  • "Illness (on my part) and the weather have entirely scuppered this round for me. But this was a nice morning and it was great to get out to play Adriano. For the first three games neither of us held our serves and then I found some rythm and range. Adriano's badminton skills came to evidence with some excellent reaction shots and deft angles. Some tight games and nice rallies. In the second set Adriano was really unlucky not to get at least a couple of games - he certainly deserved them. A nice game to finish the round. Thanks Adriano - until next time!"  -- Jean-Paul

Player Comments:

  • "We played at the Dynevor Road courts beneath grey cloudy skies. The second set was a real battle which went one way first and then the other. Ben did me quite a few times with his short ball and kept me on my toes. I managed to win a few crucial points at the end which took the game my way. I look forward to a re-match Ben."  -- Peter

Player Comments:

  • "Always a good game against John. We both struggled to find our rhythm under the floodlights on a wet astroturf following a lot of rain earlier in the week. Both sets had a good number of breaks of serve, fun rallies, curious miss-hits and great winners. Thanks John, great fun as ever.!!"  -- Jean-Paul

Reveal CommentJohn Harrison bt Adriano Di carlo (Nov 20) 6-3, 6-1

Player Comments:

  • "After all the wet weather a lovely sunny day, however this brought the sun into play with one end looking straight in a bright low sun. This did make for an interesting first set while we were getting used to it. Even with the testing sun, Adriano played some great winners and must be one of the most improved players over the last few rounds with some great long rallies. Good luck Adriano in the rest of the round."  -- John
