FIRST SINGLES

khou nou LOR 2, may GARVEY 0
(21-15, 21-15)

For the third time this season #1 ranked Khou Nou Lor edged out #3 ranked May Garvey in two. There has been a progression for Garvey with the first meeting in March a gap of nine, the second on April 11 was seven; today it was six. Lor, who only has one set loss all year, stretched the court and was able to maintain her balance in getting to the bird.

In the first set, Lor held Garvey to no runs while picking up two of her own. The first run of three gave Lor some separation at 5-2. Her next run of five gave her an 18-11 lead. The clear game provided six of Lor’s 15 winners. Garvey made use of ten errors, but could not generate her own winner after her ninth point.

In set two Lor cleaned up some of her errors cutting her amount down to five. Garvey went to her strength more and more which is the power game. She delivered six smashes out of her ten winners in this set. Four of those smashes found a home on the right sideline toward the back line. Lor spread her winners around. She was also the recipient of ten Garvey errors. Both players worked the back left corner and this is where Garvey had six of her errors. Neither player really got the winners there, it was primarily set up position. Lor did get the first run of four to grab a 7-2 lead. Another four points put her comfortably up 13-6. Garvey got her first run of the match starting with a six stroke block of a smash. Lor responded with her own run of three (16-9). The highlight of the match was an 18 stroke smash that went in Lor’s column on the 19^th point. With her back to the wall, Garvey responded with two straight smashes followed by another block. A net error gave the bird back to Lor which she used for the final point, a five stroke soft drive to the left.
