Day 5: End of Pool Play

9:00am: Team Canada Boys vs Team Chile:


First up, Julien Gosset vs Matias Lacroix,  
3-1 Canada
After a tight 1st game, Julien managed to tire out his opponent.  In the remaining 3 games the combination of Julien's tight length and snappy short game neutralized the Chilean giving Canada a 3-1 win.

2nd Match, Brock Janzer vs Jose Gallegos, 
3-0 Canada
Good job Brock.  Brock went on court and stayed steady throughout the match.  Each game followed a similar pattern, equal play through the first half (to 5 All) then errors from the Chilean and the win for Brock.

3rd Match, Noel Heaton vs Felipe Quezada, 
3-0 Canada
Chili has now lost the encounter, but the rules of round robin play require all 3 matches to be played.  Our Chilean opponent is struggling with motivation, as we have seen stronger play from Felipe earlier this week.  Straight forward win for Noel.

3:00pm: Team Canada Boys vs Team Guatemala:


First Match: Julien Gosset vs Junior Franco,
Canada 3-2
Julien has a silky swing and when he uses it his opponents are going to be in trouble.  In the first two game Julien was trying to flick the ball.  In the third the pressure started to get and Franco as he was digging from the corners.  In come from behind fashion Julien Stole the match in 5 games.

2nd Match: Brock Janzer vs Robert Urruela
Canada 3-0
Brock wasn't going to have trouble with this match.  But we all new that going into it.  Guatemala is a team with 2 strong players and they are relying on them to get to the medal round.  Brock did his job finished strong for the next time he's going to step on court.  

3rd Match: Noel Heaton vs Jose Merida
Canada 3-0
The scouting reports for this match had Jose injured and not at his best.  Game Plan: keep the rallies wrong and see what he is made of.  Well not enough as Noel punished him with some inch perfect dying length.  

Canada Finish top in their pool.  We start elimination round tomorrow morning.  First match will be with Trinidad and Tobago at 9:00am
