Game 1 was unbelievable. DeHeart is feeding Johns low backhand volleys and then closing points with the forehand roll. Johns fights off multiple game points to win game one 17-15.https://t.co/q8NqY0fIvQ

Jorja Johnson closed out the day with a win over Parris Todd to bring home the bronze medal. The men's bronze medal match is postponed due to a rain delay. Julian Arnold battled through the losers bracket but will have to beat Ben Johns if he wants to leave with hardware.
