albert drew first blood at 1-0 before it was downhill all the way in the first set. Some highlights include a couple of excellent passes down the line from Larry . In the 2nd Albert was leading 5-2, but larry simply refused to give up. It was a mind's game and really on who was giving way first. But eventually Albert stood the nerves and held serve in the last game to round it up to 6-4. An intriguing encounter with a few aces, inside out forehand killers, base line cross court "tsunamis", down the line passes and at one time a "table tennis" game of volleys (about 10 in total). There was also a double handed back hand drive volley from Larry  that albert "tahan" with his stomach. It could have "killed" him if he had not used the racket to deflect off some of the power from point blank.
