AS IT HAPPENED...
A good disputed match
between Karim Darwish, former world number one, and
Nicolas Mueller, who had some great scalps recently
including Shabana...
Karim took the two first games, but the Swiss reassessed and
took the 3rd rather comfortably. He nearly took the 4th as
well, as he had a game ball, but Karim - staying focused at
all times - was able to close it in four ...
Daryl Selby confirmed his 12th ranking yesterday by
beating Thierry Lincou, ranked now 13th. And today, like in
his match against the Frenchman, he started against Simon Rosner
rather slowly .
 He
got his game sorted by the second game though, but the
crucial game was actually the third, that Daryl took after very intense and beautiful rallies. In the
fourth, Simon looked
very tired, and a bit slow to move. The Englishman just went
for the kill...
Tired from his battle against Campbell Grayson in the
first round, Steve Coppinger was no match for a fresh
and bouncy Peter Barker.
The Englishman just didn't take any prisoners, and finished
the match in half and hour...
As for the last match, well, Greg Gaultier was in a
devastating mood against Tom Richards, and even
finished in an exhibition style from 9/1 in the third... |
