Final report: Congratulations to no. 3 seed Graeme, who reversed the result of last year's Final by beating no. 4 seed Josh to win the title. Josh never caught up after Graeme won the first two games but the match was close and was still in doubt until the last game. Although these two players from NSW have never done particularly well in the WTC, they seem to thrive when they face the massed ranks of QLDers and others in their own national championship and it will be interesting to see if this year they can translate that form into WTC form in a few months' time. It is also intriguing how Queenslanders tend to lead the Australian challenge in the WTC but never have quite the same success in this event.

In the 3/4 play-off, no. 8 seed Paul had the edge v unseeded Janette at the end of their first session. A win for Janette in g4 almost levelled the match but Paul won the last two games to finish in 3rd place. Janette, though, was by far the most successful unseeded player and had a great first tournament.
