The Uncertainty Principle bt TUPNews 2-1
(15-3 15-6 8-15)

Unfortunately, Jake was not unnerved by my pre-game tactic of turning up half an hour late. Leaden footwork in the first game saw TUPNews crash to a barely-contested, profanity-littered defeat. In the second, sharp service and a ruthless punishment of TUPNews’ weak backhand saw Jake lead from the outset and seal the match. After switching shuttlecocks, a finally warmed-up TUPNews managed to create and maintain a lead and take a consolation game. Back to the drawing board for TUPNews!
