Player Comments:
- "Very tough match against Adam who played better for most of the duel. I was 5-1 up in the first set only for Adam to make it 5-5. The final score of the first set was 7-5 to me but more was to come. He played better and better and was deservedly leading in the second set 5-2 and had a few set balls. I returned to 5-5 but it was Adam's turn to pull the win in the set so 7-5 in his favour. The final set also saw Adam in the lead at 4-0 and then 5-2. I had to dig deep and I found myself against the wall with no choice but to get the point after point to get to 6-5. Then Adam made it to tie break. To win this match was a huge relief to me after trailing for 2 sets but Adam honestly deserved to win today more than me..." -- Rost

Player Comments:
- "Incredible match with a crazy twist in the end. Dave started off confidently and took the first set pretty quick. Then there was a competitive second set which ended 6-4 in my favour. In the third set Dave had a massive lead of 4-0 and surely should have won but somehow I managed a decent comeback to make it 6-4. It has never been easy against Dave in the past but this time it was the toughest for me, so I feel much respect towards Dave for such physical and mental contest today" -- Rost
