We break for lunch at the end of this round, before resuming at 14:00 to play the remaining five games without a break. It sounds like a gruelling schedule, but there is nonstop coffee, tea, juice and pastry service; and if you need to take a few minutes between games to clear your head, you can step directly outside to lie in the sun beside the pool.
