In the quarters, Hari beat Denise, Amit beat Milton, Sue beat Armando and Maciej beat Keith. The semi-final saw top seed Hari defeat Amit 3-0 while Sue took one game off Maciej. The final was a closer encounter with Hari winning the first two games, Maciej equalising 2-2 before Hari clinched the deciding fifth game 11-7.
