Won my first competition in years, beating the mighty Xian Zhang in the final of the Australia Square competition. Won a nice Rebel Sports voucher, but the glory meant much more. Great match, took it 3-1. Close start with Xian hitting lots of heavy loopy top spins, but I was able to counter attack with firm blocks or flicks off my backhand. Xian's weakness seemed to be against heavy low chopping. So I continually tried to slow the game down, then counter attack when popped the ball up. The last game was fairly easy, Xian made some unforced errors. Table tennis is all in the head, luckily I was able to get on top of him with some steady but effective table tennis.
