MacDonald and Atkins
After winning a back and forth first set 6-4, the eventual champions took a nap, allowing Hull and Preston to rally for a 6-3 second set win. Opportunities were there for Atkins / MacDonald in the second set, but they could not consolidate their service breaks with a hold of their own.
JJ Preston

Scott Atkins
Both teams played their best tennis during the Tie-Break, staying even on score at 9-all and 10-all. Finally, Atkins and MacDonald prevailed on their 3rd match point to win the Tie-Break 12-10.
