Rudolph and Sebastian Koci-Edwards respectively. The boys took all 3 matches
and so took a 3-0 lead and the tie with the doubles still to play. Aside from a
straightforward win from Vicente, it was not as easy as it sounded with both Darius
and Yujiro winning in 3rd set tiebreaks. Zachary came in for the doubles partnering

Day 2 and tie 3 put the Cambs team against Norfolk. Day 2 would offer up tougher
challenges than day 1 and this was evident from the start. For the 3 singles Darius
and Vicente took on Scott Whiting and Joseph Henden respectively. Zachary found
the win against Frederick Withers in 3 sets while Darius and Vicente fought hard,
both having tight matches, but losing out in 3rd set tiebreaks. So into the all
important doubles to keep the tie alive. And another close fought match saw the
Cambs boys of Darius and Vicente come out on top against Scott Whiting and
Joseph Henden. This left the tie at 2-2 and so would have to be decided with a
doubles match tie break. Darius and Vicente stayed together and kept their winning
momentum going with a convincing tiebreak shootout victory.
