With the same politeness, he obliged his young fans with photographs and autographs at the Al Ain Club.

But on the court, Oldorff is fiercely ‘competitive’.

“I think my competitiveness and politeness describe me. I like to be respectful with everyone -I want to treat people the way I want them to treat me,” he said.

“It has been an amazing week and amazing crowd! I’m proud at the moment; it’s my second tournament in Abu Dhabi, I 'm honoured to see such crowd cheering for me.”
