Doubles title delight for Daniel Phillips in Guatemala
Daniel Phillips clinched doubles title delight and will now look to add further glory in the singles draw of the J4 Guatemala tournament.
Bermudian Phillips and his partner Humza Noor, from the United States, who were seeded second overall, proved too strong for No 3 seeds Samuel Heredia and Cesar Mahecha, of Colombia, as they eased to a straight sets 6-2, 6-4 success to clinch the title.
Earlier in the day, the 17-year-old booked his place in the final of the singles competition after overcoming Marcos Castellanos, of the host nation, in straight sets 6-3, 6-2.
That has set up a rematch with Colombian Heredia in tomorrow’s final, after the third seed brushed aside Tyler Nguyen, of the United States 6-2, 6-1 in the other semi-final.
Top seed Phillips is yet to lose a set in either singles or doubles at the tournament and is seeking back-to-back wins on the ITF Junior tour after winning last week’s tournament in Boca Raton.
