2017 2017 Tournament Tournament

Tournament Report, Thursday 20 July 2017

Two matches were played this evening.

David Cohen played Paul O’Flynn.  It looks like David struggled in the first set against Paul’s approach of hitting the ball as hard as he can, and Paul took the first set 6-0.  In the second either David got his eye in, or Paul made more errors, and David got a couple of games.  Paul won 6-0 6-2.
