Playing for the hot seat was Jerry Dunne and Sanne Krom, this match went hill/hill and had Krom coming away with the win, sending Dunne to the one lost side.
The big story of the day was Briana Miller. After losing her first match 7-6 to Joe Hong. She went on to win her next 8 matches, working her way through some tough competition. Her path to the finals included Ralph Lake 7-6, Darren Powell 7-3, Tracy Wu 7-5, AJ Fitzgerald 7-1, Melvin Garcia Jr. 7-5 Vinny Cimarelli 7-6, Dan McGinnis 7-3 and Jerry Dunne 7-6.
When the smoke had cleared the final match was set, it would be Sanne Krom vs Briana Miller. As always, this was a true double elimination event with the first set being a race to 7 and a second set (if necessary) sudden death race to one.
The first set was all Briana Miller with an impressive 7-3 win. In sudden death Brianna got the break and showed why she is a force to be reckoned with by breaking and running out to win the match and the event.
