Thanks to everyone who took part in the 30th round in Redbridge. There was a good competitive spirit on display and this resulted in some tight tussles for the top spots. Congratulations to the new group champions and we hope to see you next time for many more matches throughout the summer.
Group Summary:
"The sun was shining" on Zafar throughout the round as he finished three wins to the good to move to the front. Ivan and Nagendra kept the pressure on Zafar, adding bonus points to their two victories to tie on six points. But ultimately, Zafar had too much for Ivan and Nagendra, prevailing from their head to heads to take his second title on the bounce. Ivan takes second thanks to his straight sets victory over Nagendra.

Group Summary:
No player was able to take control of a competitive group three, with only one point separating positions one to four. Sajeev and Felipe finish on seven points to put themselves in the hunt for the gold. As is always the case in this situation, the match between the two comes into play and Sajeev "snatched the game" 7-5 in the third to take the crown. Now Stuart finished unbeaten and defeated the top two, so what might have happened had he played just one more match? Maybe we will find out next time.
