The lefty’s first match against local man Ignacio Paul Cedeno Ponce was a walk in the park as the former Caribbean U-21 champion won comfortably; 4-1. Britton kept his calm after losing the first game 11-6 to win the next four sets, 11-8, 11-6, 11-8 and 11-6.
The Caribbean Senior bronze medalist is playing in his first Senior World Tournament and he didn’t break a sweat. In his second preliminary match he disposed of Rodrigo Ali of Peru, winning the first 4-2, third, fourth and sixth sets en route to victory with respective scores of 11-6, 11-8, 11-6 and 11-18.
Britton’s upcoming fixtures are yet to be finalised but the final will be contested this Saturday.
