2011 Aussie Titles  // Event

The men's final was full of excitement. The conditions had deteriorated slightly with the regular wind squalls affecting the surface of outside bombs. It didn't inhibit the best of the best from revelling in the big right handers. Michael Davis had a blinder of a run through the draw and it didn't stop in the final.
