New Years Eve
With the increased number of days play, the tournament held two matches in the afternoon session on New Year's Eve. The first one saw a repeat of the 1993 world final, however John Lowe was unable to repeat the result. He had led 3-0 against Alan Warriner, but Warriner, quickly dropping down the rankings recovered to win the match 4-3, taking the final set with a 4-2 tie- break margin.
The final match of the third round saw the number 8 seed eliminated. Denis Ovens recovred from 2-0 and 3-1 down to level the match at 3-3. However Alex Roy would go through to the fourth round with a straight legs victory in the decider, winning through to meet Warriner in the last 16.

Famous quotes containing the words years and/or eve:
“When any man expresses doubt to me as to the use that I or any other woman might make of the ballot if we had it, my answer is, What is that to you? If you have for years defrauded me of my rightful inheritance, and then, as a stroke of policy, of from late conviction, concluded to restore to me my own domain, must I ask you whether I may make of it a garden of flowers, or a field of wheat, or a pasture for kine?”
—Matilda Joslyn Gage (1826–1898)
“When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?”
—John Ball (hanged 1381)
