Trailing 0-2 at the start, they managed to hold the nerves and kept Regentville's hopes alive by breaking back and forcing the game into a 7-7 tiebreaker after a closely contested game. They eventually took the set (7-4) in the breaker to advance to the semis which will be held next week. The Regentville Tennis Blog salutes the both of you for your progress to the semis!

It was a tightly contested match against the veterans and regulars of FTC. They were toying with us and just getting points with our tons of errors in the first 8 games at 3-5 score. Clearly shows that were neophyte in joining such tournament and still lack of experience. One thing that we make it at tie break is when we think that there playing nothing to lose with that match, that if we lost the game there will be tomorrow and see the semis and push thru the finals. I admired my partner in holding and overcoming the every crucial points. My favorite winner of the game is the match point were I serving, I put up everything on that point, its like a scud going for a body shot and as what is plan the ball when up for a smash set up with my partner. A fist pump in the air followed and again we won a tight match of the tournament.
