Michael Tieu vs Tom Townsend

Details

Michael and I had a nice battle at Lower Woodland, I played steady but not spectacular throughout.  Michael started slow, then at 0-4 in 2nd set he zoomed back with his backhand and serve keeping me off balance but also playing some long patient rallies where his topspin kept me WAY back.   I eeked out 2nd set, barely, but most of match was on his racket.    Michael has one of the best 1-2 punches (serve/backhand) in our league, when he is on.
