5-0*. Walk in the park.
After the first round win I commented that it was a lot of work for 1 ranking point. I guess this makes it all worthwhile.
It's not been easy for Dan though, and atypical of a Brit has come through when all looked lost. Here's a summary of the week.
R1: Saved a match point before winning in 3 sets.
R2: Saved 2 set points before winning in 3 sets.
QF: Won 4 games in a row from 2-4 second set, to win 4&4
SF: Won in 3 sets after losing the first set.
F: Won in 3 after losing the first and breaking to save the match in the second.
All in all, a very well deserved title and 18 points.
For the record;
F: (7) Dan Smethurst (GBR) WR 457 beat (1) Radu Albot (MDA) WR 257 3-6 7-5 6-0.

Good luck Team GBR in 2016!!!
