An interesting contest with a steady early pace complicating matters but the pair who looked to have the most potential came to the fore and both have reasons to expect them to be capable of even better than this bare form. GRONKOWSKI (USA) has a lot of ability and completed the hat-trick despite still by no means the finished article, something which could prove an issue in better company, although equally a stronger pace is bound to suit his style and he's still got more to come under the right circumstances; held up, refused to settle, rapid headway and upsides over 3f out, led over 1f out, edged right, kept going well.
