Doubles Final
Barnett/Folland (GBR) v Kozub/Shestakova (POL/UKR)
Sadly Isaac retired at 6-2 4-1 down apparently, due to an injury sustained in a long match the previous day, but has two more weeks of competition in Kenya to try and land a trophy.
Maybe though just recognised that he could only aggravate any injury and it was causing him enough trouble that he had little chance of recovering such a position.
Hope so and that is an optimistic look at it, and that he is able to compete in the following two weeks. Given I presume not that long before he is due to be in action again, it may be though that he even then he will need at least a week off.
Good anyway to see Isaac reaching his first ITF final and I hope he can continue to progress.
