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.
