Yep, VERY tight for the boys; less so in the girls

And Phoenix got his revenge

FINALS

Phoenix def. Freddy Blaydes 7-6(2) 3-6 13-11 (!!!)

Lois def. Lucia 6-4 6-0

Lambda · Challenger level

Loughborough G2

In an all US College final Yujiro Onuma defeated Oscar Brown [6] 4-6 6-0 [10-7]

Tegan Bush [2] defeated US College players Ellie Blackford [6] in the semi-final and Eva Shaw [4] in the final 6-3 6-4

Side note: The women's main draw was decimated by withdrawals with 11 (yes, eleven!) lucky losers. 11 players denying others the opportunity to play. If they can't commit to playing perhaps withdraw earlier?

We were discussing this selfish behaviour last week. They waited until the draw was done and then withdrew. The draw then stands and it ruins the main draw. Lots of reserve players were left with no opportunity to play. Anna said it would have been players not getting the right draw/opponent, or a draw time that they did not like. Only a few will be illness or injury.
