The player who competed in both Men’s Singles and Mixed Doubles revealed that the club, based near Junglinster are looking to impress given that the tournament is so close to home, and believes they have advantages.
- We did not really know what to expect because we don’t know the players but it was a good win for us, Gaspert said.
