Reveal CommentNayeem Nazarullah bt Vik Khurana (Sep 9) 6-2, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "Vik and Nayeem played a tough match win which neither gained any rhythm on their shots due to swirling winds and a bright sun shining on one side of the court. However both, gamely gutted it out playing some tough deuce games. Vik got back into the match with a break of serve to lead in the second set. Nayeem then managed to hit some attacking shots in the return games and that made the difference in the end." -- Nayeem

Reveal CommentJamal Ali bt Fiona Durnian (Aug 13) 6-1, 6-1
Player Comments:
- "What a curious experience playing at Ropemaker's Field was!! Serving toward a tower block (from the southern end) and what resembled a mini-crowd barrier rather than a net!! Fiona is new to tennis and her aim for this round was to win one game so now she is going to have to reassess her objectives!! Judging by some of her forehand winners, she certainly has the ability and enthusiasm to. No double faults, either! I was very impressed with her level, given she is a beginner. All the very best with your remaining matches, Fiona, and you are doing absolutely the right thing in order to improve i.e. playing more matches." -- Jamal
