The lovely bubbly Godelinde Gubbels is my partner in the D Mixed Doubles.
In D-singles I am seeded as nr 2:

My first match in D-Singles was the 2nd Round, as I had a bye in Round 1. My opponent was Randal, who I met just a week before in the Champions Race Tournament in Amsterdam:
I played really well and won 6-2, 6-1.
The first round match in D Mixed Doubles was against the nr 1 seeds, but we never played , as my back became too painful just before the match started!
Then luck stroke me as fast as my backpain: my Singles opponent in the Quarter Final, Oliver, had withdrawn because of an injury! So I had a whole day to rest my back.
Semi-Final in D-Singles was early on the Sunday, against Giraldo, my angstgegner...
Again, he was too strong for me, but this time I played well (unlike in Manchester last year): 2-6, 3-6.
Time for the Consolation Draw in D Mixed Doubles.
The Semi-Final was against fellow Dutch players Luc & Judith. We won 8-2!
So we played the Consolation Final, against Belgian Genevieve & French guy Nicholas:
We won the Consolation Final 8-4, and took home the trophy of WINNER Consolation!
