Match Report
Did hell freeze over last night or did PRO actually win more sets than Comets A (yes Comets A) in a single night?
On a night when records were set for both Ronnie and George, you'll find the latter to be true.
All matches played out of order shown in brackets. Because of his last minute replacement,
Anoop wouldn't be arriving until after 8 pm.
Things were not going well for him as he found himself 1 game down and 10-7 down in the second. As always seems to happen in these matches he won the next 5 points to draw level and then moved on to win the next 2 games and the match. With momentum on his side he then swept away Adil in the next match 3 straight.
With the score standing at 4-2 in PRO's favour, up stepped Anoop to play his first match of the evening against George. You may remember that George had previously beaten Anoop 3-0, albeit two were deuce games, so nothing was certain here.
George started the better, racing ahead 8-2, then inexplicably lost 11-8 and the next by the same scoreline. All seemed lost, but George managed to win the last 3 games. You'll need to get out the record books for this one, but when was the last time George had more than one win in a season?
With 3 very close middle games PRO finally won in the 5th. Only the second 5-setter of the evening.
The last two singles both went PRO's way to record an impressive 8-2 victory. This was Ronnie's first maximum of the season.
