Scott was also assigned the final match as first referee - Barbados versus Jamacia. It was also 5 sets; over 2.5 hours; in front of almost 3,000 fans.

And as we still face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream and it’s the American dream.

I have a dream that one day the red hills of Georgia, the sons of slaves and the former slaves owners and will be able to sit peaceful at the same table together of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Alabama a state with the heat of justice and that state will be transformed into freedom and justice. I have a dream that all my four children will one day live in a nation were not just my four children but NO ONE will be judged by their colour of the content of their character.
