They've been very dominant this week - even more so, I think (though haven't checked) than usual. Congratulations to them.

R1 0 & 3, QF 1 & 2, SF 1 & 0 & final 1 & 5, so yes, I think it's fair to say they've been very dominant this week! wink

Thanks, Stircrazy -- put that way it's exceptionally impressive! What I can't recall is whether this is unusual for them or not. I don't recall their being quite so dominant in previous tournaments, but I could be wrong.

That's a fair result. It was a good chance for Corrie to match himself against stronger opposition than he's had in the GB futures thus far (barring, perhaps, Harrison) and to see what will be needed at the next level. (As others have noted, Nielsen may be lower ranked than a lot of futures players, but he's still probably stronger.) Upwards and onwards.

Ed has been slow starting all week, bar the semi. His battling skills have been needed all week.

First set to Nielsen

6 - 4

Ed now a double break down in the second set. I get the impression that the courts are a bit faster this week, which may not suit Ed as much as he doesn't have the big serve.

Corrie down 1 - 5
and serving to stay in the match

Hmm, pretty decisive liooking scoreline. Ed's had a couple of slight struggles this week, as mentioned maybe the courts not really suiting him.

I doubt though that he's got many complaints about his start to the year !

Not sure what's more shocking - that zootennis has managed to find an article from the Exmouth journal or that they think this event had "prize money of up to £50,000"!
