Well, the good news is that I have qualified. I reached some reasonable heights in doing so, although once again, I lost my first game of the day. This time against David Underhill, I lost 6-7 before prevailing 7-3, 7-3. Having finished that match I then had to wait almost five hours before going back on. By this stage Chris Clarke had defeated Amr Baher to take a lead in the block and Paulo De Petra had suffered a surprise loss to David Boyd. Paulo needed to beat me in order to ensure that he did not face a tricky last match against Chris Clarke needing to win to qualify. I did not play too well and Paulo was motivated enough to take the match 7-5, 7-4. However, I am satisfied with the overall achievement of qualifying and will play Amr tomorrow morning before taking my place in the first round of the knockout.
Block G at end of Day 3: Clarke (ENG) 6/6, Baher (EGY) 5/6, De Petra (IT) 4/6, King (ENG) 4/6, Shorten (IRL) 2/6, Louw (SA) 2/6, Boyd (SA) 1/6, Underhill (CH) 0/6.
