Carol Weymuller 2005

     


FINAL
Natalie Grinham lost to Nicol David 9/5 6/9 4/9 3/9

Although my match with Nicol was 3-1 I thought that I had played better in our previous meeting (Britiish Open Final) where I lost 3-0.  I controlled the first game very well, then Nicol picked up her game and I seemed to lose focus. After my match one of the club girls brought me a shirt that she made for me and my sister.... I thought that was really sweet!

Semi Final
Natalie Grinham bt Isabelle Stoehr 10/8 5/9 9/2 9/1

Isabelle beat Vanessa to make it to the Semi's. She played very well again against me. The first 2 games were close but unfortunately for Isa she had 5 games the previous day which might have had an impact.
Quarter Final
Natalie Grinham bt Jenny Duncalf  9/4 9/1 9/4

I've played Jenny quite a few times this year. She's very talented with the racket, but today I was on my game and she just wasn't quite there.  I also had a few lucky bounces in the second game which messed with her head a little bit.

Last 16
Natalie Grinham bt Meredeth Quick 9/1 9/1 9/3

Meredeth was one of the club pros at the Heights casino, she had great support from the members and every time she won a rally the match on the court next to us would have to stop play from all the noise they made.  It was a fun match and Meredeth never gave up!
