Jones, Tom Yew advance to girls doubles semis

Abigail Jones and Jade Tom Yew advanced to the girls Under-18 doubles semi-finals, in the Tobago House of Assembly (THA)/Bmobile Tobago Junior ITF Tennis Tournament yesterday, without breaking a sweat.

The pair had a walkover victory over the third-seeded pair of Karina Jensrud (Norway) and Mell Elizabeth Reasco Gonzalez (Ecuador), at the National Racquet Centre in Tacarigua.

Reasco Gonzalez suffered an ankle injury earlier in the day, after she slipped and fell during her girls Under-18 singles quarter-final match against Bahamas’ Afrika Smith.
