Neptune Open Doubles 2010
Rob and Steve capped a wonderful 2010 campaign by winning a hard fought match against Tim and Conor. From the start the World Champions meant business and secured the first set 6-1, despite some spirited games from the challengers. However Tim and Conor dug deep in the next 2 sets and pushed many of the games to deuce. Amateur Conor looked very much at home amongst the three professionals and made a number of stunning interceptions; and Tim looked as if he had never been away from the game, drilling numerous shots towards the Dedans with awesome power. However, Rob and Steve were not to be denied and rallied strongly with breathtaking athleticism and court craft. There was no evidence of them spending three hours on court the previous evening engaged in their own gargantuan battle.
In the end it was business as usual with Rob and Steve winning the spoils and magnums of Pol Roger - however Tim and Conor finished strongly after a superb tournament of their own.
Robin Geffen of Neptune, T&RA's generous sponsor, was on hand to congratulate all four players at the end of the match and present the prizes.
