- "A chilly afternoon with mixed conditions, the first two sets played in daylight and the decider played under floodlights, a couple of years since I played on Astro and under lights, both of us forgetting balls but got a few together from the clubhouse ! Knew this game was going to be a tough one and I wasn't disappointed, Nicks serve when it goes in is a weapon, just blocking it back into play then back on even ground, I got off to a quick start and had a match point in the second set but Nick saved well and came back strong when I thought it was my set! The Astro turf kept catching me out as the balls skidded through so when I could I came forward, in the end maybe my ground stokes were better and I made less mistakes, great game thanks !" -- Martyn
