Despite the constant rain during the afternoon, the sky cleared up just enough to get in three matches tonight with one individual punching his ticket into the Final Four on the A-Side!
The first quarter-final match of the third round lived up to expectations as the #2 Seed John Payette competed against #7 Albert Wong. Tremendous rallies accompanied by fantastic winners left the audience in amazement. Ultimately, John Payette prevailed with a 6-3, 6-3 victory to advance to Semi-Final Saturday!
In other matches, one semi-final match was also decided on the consolation side as both Matt Hepburn and Paul Fischer were victorious in their matches. Matt outlasted and outwilled Tom Fitzgerald 7-6 (5), 6-3 while Paul Fischer dispatched William Trac 6-1, 6-2.
