Great tournament by Johnny...he and SVB are the two most highly ranked Americans of the Open. After this performance I don't think Matchroom won't choose JA to play for the American team.
To be honest I didn't think Archer could have beaten Appleton. Not with Daz's determination to win the Open...even from the loser's bracket. Let's see if anyone can stop Darren...!
