IMPRESSIVE PLAY BY WELSHMAN

MATCH 3: Joel Makin (WAL) beat 3-1 Addeen Idrakie (MAS) 11-2, 11-1, 1-11, 11-3 (43 mins)

The Welshman opened impressively as he dominated proceedings in the first two games. It seemed like he was in for an early night before the Malaysian responded to take a 6-0 lead. Idrakie kept the foot on the accelerator as he stemmed the tide by taking the third 11-1. With the wake up call Joel took charge again in the 4th as he led 7-2. And then 9-2 before Idrakie pulled one back. At 10-3 another tin from the Malaysian and Joel was through. He plays Lucas Serme.

Action moves to the All Glass Court in the Brabourne stadium where the energy in the arena beckons. Three Indians are in the Main Draw.
