Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Decent performance today by the ladies. Honestly, I wasn't pleased with our doubles performance today, we came out flat and didn't play up to our standard. The girls did a much better job in singles. A bit of up-and-down play with some questionable decision-making, but happy with Violet, Yvette, and Vanja getting some good wins today against Barry. That said we will look ahead to some more good matchups tomorrow"
