MEN’S SINGLES

The first game was an even contest between the two Tahitian’s as both players were always within easy reach of each other at 11-10. Quentin edged through the first game, before Beaubois fought back to take the second game. Determined not to repeat yesterday’s Semi-Final, where Beaubois had a 19-16 lead in the third and final end, the 17-year-old Tahitian maintained his composure to secure the bronze medal.
