It was another beautiful sunny day in Melbourne. I started the morning with a nice win over Australia's John Arney in a playoff match and earned a spot in the Quarterfinals of the Plate. In that match I faced another Australian, Geoffrey Jamieson. Although I played well, I ended up losing 7-5, 7-3. However, I am feeling quite good as my final placing out of 80 players should be 39 or 40! Over the course of the tournament I played a total of 22 matches (32 games) and won 7 matches.
It felt good to sit back and watch the main draw semi-finals after having played 10 solid days of croquet. Tomorrow's final will be South Africa's Reg Bamford vs. Egypt's Ahmed Nasr. This will be the third time these two players have faced off in a World Championship Final. Bamford is currently ranked #1 in the world and Nasr is #4.
This evening we enjoyed a special Event dinner at the Deer Park Club near the Victorian Croquet Center.
