Chris started off strongly in the first, winning it comfortably. However, in the second game, Chris had a battle on his hands with James finding his form, mixing it up with good length and short boasts at the front of the court, winning in a long game. James continued his form into the third for another win. However, Chris was determined to stay in the match and picked himself up, playing good basic squash and hitting nice hard drives when he needed to. These tactics won Chris the fourth game to even the scores. In the fifth, Chris was down 4 to 8 but his persistence and patience under pressure paid off and he was able to claw his way back into the game to finally clinch it and the match in another long game. James played well and had his chances but Chris had the edge and kept his cool under pressure, being able to think about his game right to the end. His motto,“JUST DO IT”, certainly paid off on the night.
