I was 5-1 up only to slip and go 6-6 and then Alex capitalised to take it 9-7 Then my form dipped in the second set and Alex burst through 5-2. However, I made a brief comeback saving a few match points to make it 5-4. I then had saved another match point but Alex fought in the end to take the match. Well played!!" -- Seb

- "The scoreline doesnt reflect quite how close this felt. Amar was up 1-4 in the first set and i somehow clawed my way back. Im sure the fact that hes had a new born 11 days ago played into my favour! A huge congratulations to him on the birth and hope to play again soon." -- Darryl

Reveal CommentMG Bouchard bt Trevor Davies (Jun 6) 7-5, 6-3
Player Comments:
- "A tough match against Trevor indoors on a hot day played in good spirits. The first 8 games went with serve, before the 9th became interesting. Trevor squandered a 40-15 lead in what would become a 9-min, 18pt game, leading to three consecutive breaks of serve. It took a big effort to come back from 0-40 in game 12 to hold and take the first set, by which point energy levels were dropping. An early break and a couple service games to love helped me take a 3-1 lead in set 2, but a 16pt game 6 almost drained me too much. A couple tentative games from 4-2 followed, but managed to dig deep to come from 40-15 down in game 9 to break and seal the win 10 minutes after the courts closed! Thanks again, Trevor. Always a fun hit. Enjoy your holiday!" -- MG
