I was playing Paul Langely in the Australian National Championships. I was down 2 sets to love and he had just hit a screaming winner to go up 19-11 in the third. I really believed the match was gone after that point and I think that is what turned the match around. I started playing better with less pressure on myself and fought back to 19 all. I lost the next point but managed to save the match point to level again at 20 all. Then I won the next 2 points and took the set. From there I didn't look back and ended up giving him a hidnig in the 5th set winning 21-5.

It turned out to be a great win as over the next decade Paul Langley went on to win many Australian National Titles and represented Australia at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.
