2005
players faced each other in what is expected to be the
first of two clashes between the two rivals.
In the first game, Haslam took the first lead at 3-1, but
some long rallies in favour of Slater, resulted in the
score being tied at 3-3. After another good rally, the
score remains at 3-3, and continues to 4-4. Slater then
edges ahead to 5-4, before extending the lead to reach
game ball at 8-4. The first game then went 9/4 to Slater.
In the 2nd game, Slater took an early lead at 3-0,
before Haslam picked up her first point at 1-3. Slater
stayed ahead however, reaching 5-2. Maintaining
control of the game, Slater went 2-0 ahead with a 9/3
win.
The 3rd game started with Slater once again taking the
lead at 3-1. She continued to control the rallies to go
6-1 ahead, but 3 consecutive errors by Slater
shortened the lead to 6-4. Haslam edged closer to
reach 5-6, but it wasn't enough as Slater eventually won
the game and match 9/5.
McIntosh were pitted against each other.
In the first game, McIntosh charged ahead 3-1 before Roudette tied
it up at 3-3. Roudette then stole the lead, going 7-3 ahead and
winning the game 9/3.
In the 2nd game, it was McIntosh again leading first at 2-0, but
Roudette tied it again at 2-2. Roudette once again takes back the
lead to reach 5-2 and pushed even further to clinch the game 9/2.
This did not deter a determined McIntosh, who once again lead first
in the 3rd game. McIntosh continued to fight her way to 7-3, but
Roudette regained her composure to tie the score at 7-7. Eventually,
Roudette finished off the game and the match 9/7.
McIntosh and Amber Glasgow, a persistent McIntosh found
the youthful energy of her 15-year old opponent just too
much to handle.
The first game began with Glasgow taking a quick 4-0 lead,
before McIntosh got aggressive to reach 3-4. Glasgow then
powered ahead to 7-3, but another strong fight from
McIntosh took the score to 7-8. McIntosh continued to
battle with the score at 8-8, but Glasgow was too strong,
winning 10/8.
Glasgow continued to dominate in the 2nd game, rushing
ahead to 3-0. Glasgow kept the pressure to lead at 6-1, but
McIntosh summoned up some more will-power to reach 4-6.
Glasgow still kept the advantage however, winning the 2nd
game 9/5.
McIntosh refused to give up, and in the 3rd game, she started
off with a 3-0 lead. But Glasgow levelled the score at 3-3,
and soon regained control to win the game and match 9/3.
She will now face another "Veteran" in the semi-finals, in the
form of the no. 1 seed - Sherian Slater.
