DAVIS CUP Group 1 tie v Japan started yesterday. The guys badly need our support. They lost in the two singles yesterday and won the doubles today so that makes the score 2-1 for Japan. They have to win the 2 reverse singles tomorrow to win this tie.
Please support them guys especially if you are from Cebu.
By the way, I finally met Kaligo in person in Cebu. We both went to Panaad but never got the chance to see each other there.

Triple Southeast Asian Games medallist and long-time Philippine Davis Cup campaigner Treat Huey, along with his partner and former World top 20 player Max Mirnyi of Belarus, clinched a semifinal berth at the ongoing 2016 Wimbledon Championships, late Tuesday evening (Manila time). Huey and Mirnyi defeated the pair of Jonathan Marray of Great Britain and Adil Shamasdin of Canada in straight sets, 6-4, 7-6, 6-3 , to reach the final of this year’s third Grand Slam. The pair continue their successful year after reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open earlier in January and winning the Mexican Open the following month. Huey and Mirnyi leaned on their service efficiency to clinch the first set, and they converted one of three break point opportunities in the frame. Marray and Shamasdin made some adjustments in the following set, but the Filipino-Belorussian duo would not be denied the win in both the next two frames. The winning pair will take on the top-seeded French duo of Nicholas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the semifinal. Interestingly, Huey and Herbert played against each other in last year’s International Premier Tennis League season. Huey becomes the first Filipino to reach the semifinal of a Grand Slam in this event in the senior level. His PH Davis Cup partner, Francis Casey Alcantara, notably went to the semifinal of the same event in the 2009 Australian Open, but as a junior. tiebreakertimes.com/tbt/huey-reaches-wimbledon-mens-doubles-semis/60276

The top-seeded Frenchmen came from a 2-1 deficit to avert an upset from the number 12 seeds. Mahut and Herbert took advantage of the solitary break of serve to clinch the tight opening set at 6-4. Huey and Mirnyi then took the next two frames to be on the cusp of reaching the Final. The Filipino-Belorussian pair turned to their return game to comfortably win the second set at 6-3, before taking the third set on a tiebreak at 7-3. The Frenchmen then used their service in the fourth set to force a deciding set, 6-4.

Eala claims US Open junior crown, makes history for the Philippines Alexandra Eala became the first player from the Philippines to win a Grand Slam junior singles title after defeating Lucie Havlickova in the US Open girls' final. No.10 seed Alexandra Eala claimed her first Grand Slam junior singles title with a 6-2, 6-4 defeat of No.2 seed Lucie Havlickova in the US Open girls' final. In so doing, she became the first player from the Philippines to lift a Grand Slam junior singles trophy. Eala had already captured two Grand Slam junior doubles crowns, winning the 2020 Australian Open with Priska Nugroho and Roland Garros 2021 with Oksana Selekhmeteva. However, Eala's previous best performance in junior singles had been a semifinal run at Roland Garros 2020, where she fell to eventual champion Elsa Jacquemot. Eala, 17, had not competed at junior level since last December's Orange Bowl tournament. Her return paid off after she stormed through all six matches without dropping a set. Only Taylah Preston and Victoria Mboko managed to take her as far as a tiebreak, in the third round and semifinals respectively. In the final, Eala was pitted against Roland Garros girls' champion Havlickova, also 17. The Czech was seeking to become the first player to win two Grand Slam junior singles trophies in one season since both Belinda Bencic and Ana Konjuh pulled off the feat in 2013. However, Havlickova's attempt to impose first-strike power on her opponent did not pay off. She held the first break point of the match in the fourth game, but Eala saved it with a forehand winner down the line, and the remainder of the set saw Havlickova proceed to bury herself in 21 unforced errors. Eala broke at the start of the second set as well, and held three points to consolidate it - but three double faults invited Havlickova back into the match, which would be tightly contested from then on. A high-quality second set saw Havlickova combine her power with more accuracy, but it was the left-handed Eala who continued to display more variety and control. Eala constructed the best point of the match to hold for 2-2, a dropshot-lob-forehand combination, and her ability to change direction smoothly with her left-handed forehand enabled her to have the upper hand in extended rallies. At 4-4, she also displayed impressive scoreboard nous. Standing well inside the baseline on return to elicit a Havlickova double fault and upping her intensity levels from the baseline, Eala notched the crucial break and served out the win to 15. Both Eala and Havlickova have already started to make an impact in the pros. No.297-ranked Eala became the first Filipina to both contest a WTA main draw and win a match at that level when she defeated Paula Ormaechea in the first round of Cluj-Napoca last August. This year, her 33-15 pro record includes her first ITF W25 title in Chiang Rai and her first ITF W60 final in Madrid. The career-high of No.280 that she hit in July also made Eala the highest-ranked Filipina ever, a record previously set by former No.284 Maricris Gentz in 1999. www.wtatennis.com/news/2787686/eala-claims-us-open-junior-crown-makes-history-for-the-philippines
