Wow, Sunday and Monday have been absolute scorchers and the players are starting to look a little “battle weary”. But this morning we have been fortunate enough to have the most perfect weather to play in – overcast and cool which will be of enormous relief to everybody.

The games have been going well, with the odd surprise wins and losses, but pretty much “according to plan”. Competitors like George Noble (UK) have had mixed fortunes winning two super games in the Open Singles, but then taking a loss or two in the Veterans Handicap event. The Open doubles have been quite entertaining and those we will finish today. The two pairs in the running being Mundy/Swaffield (UK) and Tibble/Town (UK) – I envisage a fierce battle between these two this morning – well worth being a spectator for this game I think.

The Class events having been going well, but as yet we can’t tell who our front runners are – still everything to play for.
