Andrew Smith wins Croatian Open

[The Expert]

A good victory by English player Andrew Smith in the Croatian Open.

This player is still young and seems to be developing well, the field was reasonably strong for an EBU.

It has not been mentioned that English players also won the Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles.

Men's Doubles won by Chris Langridge/Chris Tonks beating Kristian Roebuck/Ian Palethorpe

Women's Doubles won by Liza Parker/Jenny Day beating a Polish pair.

Mixed Doubles won by Chris Langridge.Jenny Day beating Kristian Roebuck/Jenny Wallwork

Yes of course, but England have always been strong in doubles. A handful of mens singles players and then you will really begin to make an impact.

Looks like some factor is beginning to have an influence on the mens singles players, maybe Korean style coaching?

The Croatian Open was played using the new rally point scoring system. It appears the English players are doing well playing this system winning 4 out of 5 titles. Any body else complaining????? :mad:
