Semi-Finals in Florida:
Vikram Malhotra 3-2 Farhan Zaman
Despite Malhotra's much lower ranking, this is a player that
is ready to compete with others in the top 100.
The tremendous show of respect and sportsmanship from both
players was bested only by their supreme touch with drop
shots on both left and right sides that were consistently
tight and often teetering around the nick.
Arthur Gaskin 3-0 Cameron Stafford
The excellent performance from Stafford throughout the
tournament wasn't to continue alas.
"I had a great time and I'm really happy with my
performance" said the Caymanian.
Arthur Gaskin added: "I had to be on my best game tonight
Cameron was playing so well this week"
