Although this encounter was never going to be as extravagant as the opening match, Fritz Haller and Maarten Van Severen fought a tense, minimalist battle in Durban.
Fritz Haller’s style has changed little since he broke onto the international design scene in the 1960s and his trademark mini, midi, maxi approach ensured a typically solid Fritz Haller performance. Maarten Van Severen’s occasional forays were always very well considered and perfectly executed; yet, despite .03 or .04 excellent attempts for Vitra Maarten Van Severen was unable to break Fritz Haller’s solid defence and the match ended 0:0
