Grecar faced off for the final race to 9 battle.

wanting to play their best. The battle held many
spectators interest as man vs woman on the table was
fought. Neither player seemed to take the lead except

let him keep it for long as she struggled to even up
the score. Down to the last match it was anybody's
game and both players showed their skills on the
table. Hill-Hill match belonged to Daniel as he
finally took the win at 9-8 ending the day
