William Green lived and died by his forehand. He overcame 27 unforced errors on that side to become the first to issue Alvaro Orlove a defeat this season, a first that had to wait until the Group B championship. Green's steady diet of Group A and B opponents prepared him well for Orlove, whom he defeated 8-5.
Zain Khaishgi also was forced to wait to lift his trophy when rain soaked the courts on Saturday morning. The rescheduled match saw a fine performance from Manuela Montoya outgunned by the Group C champion, who took the final 8-3.
Renata Cavallo and Tomas Muilta vied for the Group D championship on Saturday evening. With her 8-2 victory, Cavallo improved her record to 5-1 and captured the title.
That leaves the only final left to play, and it'll be worth the wait. Ivy McConarty fell ill before her Group A final against Darius Vedadi. We hope the matchup of unbeatens will take place this weekend.
Elsewhere we saw more tight matches than usual. Gus Fisher squeezed past Neeky Vadadi 7-6 to claim third place in Group B. Elizabeth Vilardo earned her first win after a very strong schedule by beating Mack Fisher, also 7-6. And just after the courts dried on Saturday morning, Deniz Ozenci won 8-7 over Annalise Ahmed.
