RE: Week 34 - Portugal F16 - Sintra ($15,000) (hard)

Priesty · Challenger level

Aidan had a couple of long tough matches last week, wonder if it caught up with him?

Like Ben and Scott, George Houghton also took the first set, and then lost the second.

Would be nice if he broke the cycle for the third.....

(Mind you, they are all unranked players hitting well above their weight, so well done to them anyway)

But go George!

Unfortunately, as feared, it was rather a big ask.

But well done to George for getting to three sets.

Yet another retirement!

ANd Finn has pulled out of the doubles with Evan too, so it must be something a little more serious...... :(

I'm generally pretty dubious about any suggestions that GB players generally retire more often than others. But we do seem to be having a rather bad period.

Hope not too bad for Aidan or Finn.
