I was 3rd seed in D singles, thanks to my win in Zurich. William was the number 1 seed: congratulations to him!

For matches that went into a third set a super tie-break was played instead a full set: the first player to win the tie-break until 10 points, wins.
I had a bye in the first round. My second round match was against Erik the Viking:
I lost the match....... in the super tiebreak! That means: Consolation Round for me next.

In the doubles I played with my old friend Thomas from Basel; well, he is not old, but old in the sense that we were doubles partners in Dusseldorf (click on that tournament to the right of the page).
First round, we played against the nr 2 seeds, William and Omar: yes the same William from the epic heroic final in Zurich. O, isn't it nice to play with a view over the City of Manchester Stadium:

We lost the match 2-6, 5-7 but we played well in the second set.
Time to concentrate on the Consolations. The consolaion rounds are played with a super set: first to win 8 games, wins. First round was a bye, and I played Nigel from Manchester in the quarter finals. I won 9-7 in a very tough match:
Semi finals: I played Paul Hickey from London. I won 8-4 in another tough match:
That meant: another final to play. Even though i is only Consolation, it is still a final.
I played Spanish player Rafael:
In the first set I was 0-4 down, came back to a tie-break, even had a setpoint, but lost the set still 7-6. I won the second set 6-4. Again a super-tie break had to decide: I lost 1-10, so no come-back like in Zurich:
Here are then the draws and results for D singles and D doubles:
