Reveal CommentBruce Harrison bt Manoj Jangra (Apr 29) 7-6 (7-5), 7-5Player Comments:
- "Great conditions both weather-wise and in terms of the court surface. I took an early lead in the first set but Manoj came back well and the first set finished 6-4 in my favour. Although the second set score mirrored the first. it was tightly contested with an even stronger physical element to it." -- Rob
Player Comments:
- "As always, a tight match with Rob showing the extra quality." -- Bruce
Player Comments:
- "A really close match which could have gone either way and in the end was won by the narrowest of margins. Several good rallies, nice winners and plenty of unforced errors from both of us, back in the sunshine and shaking off the rust after while off the court. Thanks for the match Dave!" -- Richard
Group Summary:
Darryl demonstrated the importance of getting matches set up and played, as despite winning one match less than Christopher, his battling performance against Rod and good scheduling skills earn him the extra points he needs to move into the lead. Runner up Christopher does finish with the satisfaction of being the only player to remain unbeaten. Kudos to Baresh for bagging his bonus points too.

Group Summary:
Graham and Binoy both end the round with four wins each in the race for first place. Binoy came out on top in the two's head to head which included an epic second set tiebreak, but crucially Graham bagged his bonus points and Binoy didn't, and this gave Graham the boost he needed to take top spot. A shame we didn't see everyone get off the start line in this group.
