Player Comments:
- "If the score is the only criteria then I won this match otherwise we both were winners in terms of playing proper tennis with lot of ease and enjoyment. James was serving for the 1st set at 5-1 and dramatically the momentum shifted in my favour by winning 6 games in a row to win the set with 7-5. We continued the same fun in the next set too with amazing baseline rallies. This is one of the best match ever played by both and enjoyed every point until finish. Well done James and looking forward to play again!!!" -- Praveen
