I felt very sorry for all the players about the unacceptable conditions, I remember walking in @ 1pm and having my breath taken away from me by the horrible humidity & heat that greeted me. This is not the first time I have felt this @ Croydon, as an Architect I feel it could have been designed a lot better in terms of circulation & natural ventilation.

The silly thing is that the outside conditions were quite pleasant with most smart players retreating to the outside courtyard for respite from the conditions in the hall.
To give you an example of how crappy it was my best friend was playing and he is originally from Iran (only been here about 1 year) and he could not cope with the combination of heat & humidity even though they are standard from were he comes from.

I did see on a number of occasions Justin look down to his blade and rubbers after missing what he obviously thought were makable shots, as you say the sweat and humidity looked like they troubled him.

Geoff I did spy you sitting at your desk but every time I came close you had your head in the laptop and looked very intense and busy so I let you do you work. You did not seem see to Stiga hybrid wood on display I have brought 2 from you in the past and just love them.

Are you guys going to sponsor any other tournaments in Vic, I play at Dandy along with a few other forum members here.

cheers
Mars

Here is confirmation Siver, again from the TTV site

Powell Upsets Han in Juniors (23/3/09)
In the junor tournament David Powell upset fancied Justin Han with an outstanding 3-0 win against one of Australia’s top players. Jesse Bricknell and the improving Daniel Phan were semi-finalists. Daniel backed up to win the Division 1 singles over Dillon Cathcart. Lily Phan was untroubled to take both the U15 & U18 girls titles. Lily defated Louise Qiu in the U18 final after Louise knocked out Simone Chuah in the semi. Local Mitch Ong-Thomson took out the Division 2 singles, defeating Nathan Van Der Heiden in the final. Mitch also won the Boys U13 singles, but could not match Dillon Cathcart in the boys U15 final. Dillon teamed with Alex Van Der Heiden to win the boys U18 doubles title.

Just out of interest I play pennant comp against the other juniors mentioned both Jessie & Daniel, very fast and improving by the season.

Probably. But not confirmed yet. Between the internet and more local suppliers around than ever before the whole 'sponsorship" thing is under review in my mind.

I want to try doing it differently in future.

I agree with you Geoff.
Did you have a chance to record any videos of the competition?

Well its good to see the 2 finalists are both sponsored by you.
