Robbie Maycock started Bermuda off with the perfect mixture of tactics for a speedy Javier Castilla of Columbia. Maycock neutralized Castilla’s speed with some tight medium pace length and some well-timed holds. Maycock was relentless in the first game pushing forward and playing the ball from the middle of the court. Castilla responded by pushing the tempo of rallies up and getting in front of Maycock with some great shots. Coach Mount on Maycock’s play “Moments of brilliance from Robbie, he’s ready for the second stage of the competition which starts tomorrow.”
Chris Stout pushed Juan Vargas in the first game but fell short with a few tins during big points. After winning the first game in extra points Vargas grabbed a hold of the momentum and didn’t let go.
Micah Franklin took on former Trinity College standout Andres Vargas. Franklin did not waste any time choosing an aggressive style of play right from the first point. Franklin was neck and neck with Vargas during the first game by getting in front and slotting in some great drops deep in the front corners. Vargas showed his match experience as he stayed consistent and won the big points.
Overall the Columbia squad were fit, fast and fair. Definitely an enjoyable match for Bermuda. The second stage matches will be determined at 8:00pm tonight. Follow the team at: http://www.squashsite.co.uk/mwt/index.htm
