Daniel Phillips seals doubles title delight in Panama
Bermudian Daniel Phillips clinched another title on the ITF junior tennis circuit after winning the doubles of the J4 Llanos de Curundu clay-court tournament in Panama yesterday.
Phillips partnered with Sasha Rozin, of Canada, to live up to their No 1 ranking by defeating Juan David Robayo Arias of Miguel Tobon, of Colombia, in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
The success makes up for Phillips’ disappointment of losing in the quarter-finals of the singles, on Thursday, after he went down to Dante Carlos Teramo of Argentina in three sets.
Phillips, however, had the perfect immediate response to that defeat, going on to earn a place in the doubles final alongside Rozin with a straight sets 7-6, 6-2 victory against fourth seeds Felipe Jose Rivadeneira Gallegos and Jorge Ruiz, of Ecuador.
Top seed in the singles draw, Rozin, will be aiming to build on the momentum of victory in the doubles and land a second title when he meets Teremo in the singles final.
