I was watching the last 6 or 8 matches and the players really started getting tired at the end. The play was still great and it looked as though any of the last 3 could win it.
I wish I had asked Alex how important he thought the last Bye he got was in winning.
It forced Ronnie Alcano and John Brumbeck to have to play an extra game against each other while he rested and refreshed.
He looked just a hair less tired than John and Ronnie at the end.
I didn't think anyone could stop John this year after watching him play some of his matches but I think even though he is in very good shape for his age, that it was a factor at the very end.
