David Stewart bt Paul Feehan (Aug 11) 6-3, 6-7 (3-7), 6-4Player Comments:
- "A brilliant match tonight with David, some intense rallies and long service games. David's passing shots were great and his serve extremely consistent. He pressured me to think about my shots and forced me to play for winners, a tactic that favoured him more often than not and ultimately tired me out! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers David. " -- Thomas
Player Comments:
- "A great game and even better company. The score certainly doesnt reflect the games which consisted of endless rallies and double-figure dueces. Olly is a great chap with an absolutely monstrous serve and is ridiculously quick off the mark. Great night all round and definitely will meet him on the court in the future. Cheers Olly. " -- Thomas
