It was a decent final
Annabel fought well
But the result was never in question

Beth Grey pointing out exactly what was said above

Isaac - your footwork is too approximate, too 'casual', needs more attention to detail,

If you don't listen to me (), listen to Beth !

NB He's still been the overall better player this set, Eric is serious, and focused, and happy to rally, as always. But Isaac would have been well into the second set by now if he'd just done a final tiny adjustment on a whole heap of shots

Isaac won the boys' 16U Nationals

7-6(6) 6-4

(the site has the draw result the wrong way round)

Very pleased. He deserved it and though Eric seems a very nice lad, and plays a serious game, Eric was very lucky not to lose against Coletta (6-4 in the third), and even luckier not to lose against Armus (7-5 in the third). So he really was riding his luck......

As above, Isaac has a lovely arm, it's something you can't teach (and is not 100% necessary, lots of players muscle the ball). But it's a really nice to watch, a good weapon - and if he could be a bit less 'casual' with his feet, it's be rosy
