Question:Has
anyone besides Damien Mudge gone unbeaten as a pro on both the left and
right walls? Also how long was his unbeaten streak with Gary Waite? 86
matches I have been told. Cheers
Rob Dinerman’s Answer:
Damien
Mudge and Gary Waite had an unbeaten streak that encompassed 24
tournaments and 76 matches between their loss to Anders Wahlstedt/Scott
Stoneburgh in Wilmington in Jan '01 and their loss to Blair
Horler/Clive Leach in Toronto in Feb '03, though their winning streak
actually lasted 22 months, since Mudge got injured right after
Wilmington and was sidelined until April. He is the only player in the
history of the ISDA (which was formed in Jan. 2000) to have undefeated
seasons on both walls, having gone undefeated 3 times (1999-2000,
2001-02 and 2004-05) on the right with Waite and this past season on
the left with Ben Gould. Whether any pro went undefeated on both walls
pre-ISDA is something I will research, but I would be very surprised if
anyone has.
