Today I won my first round match in the HK Open against Wael El Hindi, 3-0. I was 2-0 and 6-3 up in the 3rd when he had to retire through injury. He came on court with his wrist strapped so there was obviously something wrong, but even if you're playing someone who is not 100%, you still have to get the job done. It's sometimes tougher mentally playing a match like that! There were't too many upsets in Round 1. Borja beat LJ 3-2, Ali beat Olli 3-1 and I think that's about it. I play Nick Matthew tomorrow night in the Round of 16 and I hope I can continue hitting the ball nicely and get into a tough match!
