At the University of Hull squash center
Turns out Hull is a very charming town. Yesterday when we walked around we clearly missed the nice part. The old town down by the water is filled with beautiful old pubs, churches, cobbled streets, museums and little squares. Looking forward to going back down there tonight for dinner.
My match today was tougher, and for the most part I played well. He is a feisty player, and got feistier as the match went on. However, I played accurate, strategic squash and was in control most of the time. I seldom pay attention to the score – I am much more focused on my strategic positioning and the physical damage I am inflicting on my opponent. From this standpoint the match was never in doubt, and the final score was 11-2, 11-5, 11-9.
I am happy to be in the quarters, but feel I have a full level better in me and have the ability to go further in this tournament. Tomorrow’s match will be a real test against the 3/4 seed. I can’t wait to get back on court.
