The Division Six scorelines looked symmetrical: one 7–3, two 6–4s. The routes to those results were anything but. In one match the doubles staged a comeback, only for six away singles wins to settle the team contest. In another, two unbeaten players built almost the entire winning total. Numbers can be tidy; evenings rarely are.
