Phol & Jayson shrugs off 1st round jitters to advance to the Filipino Tennis Club Doubles Event
Phol and Jayson shrugged off yesterday's jittery start to their first doubles campaign and continued where they left off in the Filipino Tennis Club tournament held in the Tanglin Tennis Centre this evening by winning the last set 6-4. After going down 1-6 in the first set yesterday, they managed to win the next set 6-2 to set up a final decider. The final score was 1-6, 6-2, 6-4 in favor of Phol and Jayson.
Since their wasn't enough time yesterday, they had to finished what they started by finally taking the 3rd set after a tense initial battle. The score was tied at 3-3 when Jayson and Phol managed to break their opponents serve and was leading 4-3. Their opponents then broke back on Phol's serve and leveled the match at 4-4 a piece. Both Regentville players fought valiantly to break again and finished off strongly with Jayson serving for the match.
Congratulations go out to both Phol and Jayson for holding their nerves and keeping the flag flying high for Regentville. Serene, Doreen and myself was there to lead the charge and support our guys and we were not left empty handed...
We were treated to a fantastic display of 
courage as well as nerves. I had the privilege to take some snapshot this time with my better camera the Canon 300DSLR with a EF 70-200L F4 lens which produced some fabulous images. Since tomorrow is a start of another hectic working day, I will post more photos from the tournament in the days to come. Signing off for tonight... Nawin ;)
