Willcocks nicks five games against Magdalen big hitter, Coleman
Roger Willcocks hung on in there to claim five games against Martin Coleman, clearly destined for the higher leagues. Coleman is one of Magdalen's power players, with a massive first serve and plenty of topspin power.
But Willcocks, with a combination of weighted slice and off-pace flat strokes drew a flurry of errors from Coleman as he strove to produce some power. Coleman edged ahead 5-3 after a break, but Willcocks dug deep to claw back into a tie-break which he blew 5-7.
Both players whinged about the quality of Colemam's balls. "The bounce was unpredictable," said Willcocks. Coleman claimed they were the same as those used in the US Open. Yeah right, Martin.
