Group Summary:
There was a familiar name once again at the top of group one as Tomasz stormed to a magnificent seven wins to pull clear of the field and add another title to his name. Radoslaw showed terrific dedication to play every match and with five victories from his time on court, including a marathon against Robert, and bonus points he climbs into second place. A pat on the back to Pablo too for finishing with four wins to his name.
