Maryland Capital Open

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Tough match last night V Patrick Chifunda which I managd to win in 5 11-8 10-12 11-5 8-11 11-2. It wasn’t the greatest of displays. A hot, bouncy court was more favourable to his style but in the end I was physically stronger. I played a really solid 5th set which was needed. Next up is Liam Kenny, the Irish number 1, so a lot to gain here. It will be a tough match but looking forward to it!

unfortunatly I went down to Liam Kenny 3-0 in 69 mins. I didn’t play badly but didn’t play great. Although it must be said “hats off” to Liam, I thought he played a good match. Each game was nip and tuck untill towards the end of each set Liam was more clinical and patient where I was trying to be the aggressor which was definitely the wrong tactic on a hot court with a high tin..

Next stop Montreal for the Sanctuaire Classic.

In Washington DC playing in the above event. 1st round today v Andrew Mcdoughal of Canada. I started pretty strong 11-3 up in the 1st… But a bit of a lapse in concentration gave Andy a chance to get into the match and he took the second 16-14. Even though I lost it I took alot out of him and I managed to close the next 2 games out 11-3 11-4. Tough match tomorrow v Patrick Chifunda

happy new year!!
