After that, Anton took command in the game by aggressively coming to the net each time there was a chance. This lead to the fact that the first set ended 6-1. The second set was much more even and games were 3-2 and 4-3 at one point. Nikolai was not able to get in the lead in and the set ended 6-3. Thus, match to Anton 6-1, 6-3." -- Anton

Player Comments:
- "Really tough match against a technically good opponent. When it clicks, Michael's serve is really impressive and he used it to good effect in a number of service games. The conditions were really hot and sunny and we were both quite tired by the end of the two sets. Michael has excellent ground shots and when his attacking game clicked he hit me off the park. I managed to win mainly by getting the ball back consistently in hot conditions. But Michael played the better tennis overall. Well played Michael, look forward to playing you again soon." -- Nazim

Player Comments:
- "Inga and Kenneth have played a few times before - and it has always been close, and it has always been a good match. This took everything one step further - in a fantastically good, fantastically close match - with many games (including nearly every game in the second set) going to deuce. With the third set tied at 3-3 and advantage switching back and forth in the seventh game, the match could so easily have gone either way. n the end, we were on court in the sunshine for 2 1/2 hours - with a brief moment of distraction as an enormous cruise ship appeared behind the nearby buildings as it sailed down the Thames! A great match, played in great, competitive spirit - thank you Inga, good luck for your other matches this summer!" -- Kenneth
