Wins and sets difference were equal, but Roberts had the better games difference. Roberts, unlike Bowman, however, failed to get his bonus points, putting Bowman two points clear.

Bowman cruises into B2

David Bowman found a welcome return to form as he beat Sean Williams 6-1, 7-6 at Wimbledon Park. Bowman started well, breaking Williams early and looked extremely comfortable on the artifical grass. A lethal mix of agressive play and the midcourt slice backhand proved too much for Williams in the first set, and Bowman quickly wrapped it up. Bowman looked comfortable in the second when up 4-2, but let a break slip to allow Williams to recover. Bowman was in trouble at on serve at 5-5 and 15-30, but two huge serves allowed him to take the game. Williams fought valiently, cutting out his errors, but it was Bowman who got the better start in the tiebreak, and cruised home to take it 7-4.

"I like the artificial grass," said Bowman after the much. "It's much more fun to play on. It's about using skill, variety and angles, rather than standing at the back and blasting the ball."

Bowman will next be in action in B2 when the Summer League starts in July.
