Tennis : GD and SACHA Advance

GD Jones, with partner Kevin Anderson (RSA) are through to the doubles final at the US$50k Challenger event in Knoxville USA.

The Kiwi/US combination was too strong for the Ratiwatana brothers from Thailand, Sanchai and Sonchat, scoring a 6/4 2/6 10-3 victory. In the final the pair will meet the top seeded US combination of Rajeev Ram and Bobby Reynolds who boast a combined ATP doubles ranking of only 137.

Meanwhile in the Philippines, Sacha Jones has continued her good form and is through to the semi-finals of the singles event of the ITF US$10k event. Jones scored a solid 6/2 7/6 win over Indonesia’s Lavinia Tanata to advance to the semis. Awaiting at that round will be Korean fourth seed Seo-Kyung Kang. Jones also made the doubles semi-finals of the same tournament.
