Player Comments:

  • "What a grind of a match that lasted including warm-up 3 hours. I thought it was all over after Maxwell went 4-2 up in the second set before I had an epic comeback and won the second 6-4. At this point looked like I am on the winning street before Maxwell fights back once more and goes 2-0 before my superior fitness allows me to come back once more and win 6-2. Probably I never ran so much in a match before and it was amazing fun in sunny conditions. "  -- Raphael

Player Comments:

  • "What a match. 1st set - running out of the gates and going up 3 - 0 before doing equalises to 3 - 3 and I fight back again and win the first set with brilliant play 6 - 3. 2nd - Duncan breaking me straight away and then me fighting back so we are at 3 - 3 again. At this point I break him and at 5 - 3 have the chance to win the match and he breaks back. Then at 5 - 4 got 2 match points that Duncan defends well plus another 2 match points at 6 - 5. Tie break Duncan ran away 4 - 0 and put it to bed with 7 - 4. Epic match to be continued as it took us 2 hours just for 2 sets. "  -- Raphael
  • "Another frustrating experience. 5-3 up in the deciding set and managed to lose it 5-7. Respect to Duncan who took advantage, again, of my indecisiveness in the important moments and played great in these situations. I am edging closer to beat Duncan, looking at the past results, but this will have to wait for another few months at least. Thanks for the battle and congrats to the hard fought win - the set was over 1 h long. "  -- Raphael
