PLAY in the Pegasus Tennis Open continued last Sunday with victories for Carlos Adams, Rudy Grant and Andre Lopes, who all posted easy wins over Steve David-Longe, Mario Niamatalli and Albert Madramootoo respectively in the Men’s 35 Singles category. Adams was in good form as he effectively kept Longe out of the game with good placement on his ground strokes and finished off on the volleys while Lopes was similarly dominant against Madramootoo as his fast-paced game proved too much for his opponent who never got into the game.
Rudy Grant posted a surprisingly easy win over Berbician Niamatalli as he capitalised on errors by continuously keeping the ball in play. He will face the number one seed Lopes while number two seed Adams is heading for a matchup against Gilbert Barckoy or Harry Panday in the semi-finals.
In Mixed Doubles action on Sunday Krystal Sukra/Phillip Squires turned back the challenge of Berbicians Carol Humphrey/Anthony Amerally with a 6-3, 6-4 win whilst top seeds in the Men’s Doubles Jeremy Miller/Jason Andrews started their campaign with a 6-4, 6-2 win against brothers Saevion and Seanden David-Longe.
The Men’s Singles semi-finals also shaped up as Miller, Squires and Gavin Lewis also progressed with easy quarter finals wins.
