Patrombon Wins First Match!

It wasn't the smoothest of starts but the ending was just as sweet.

Jeson Patrombon bucked his rough start and went on to defeat German Patrick Elias 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the next round of the 22nd Mitsubishi Lancer International Junior Championships.

Elias, who is ranked 103rd in the juniors world, briefly held a 2-1 lead over Patrombon before succumbing to the hard hitting Pinoy. Patrombon delighted the partisan crowd with his power and touch from the baseline.



He makes his doubles debut with partner Jaden Grinter tomorrow.

Andrew Whittington, Patrombon's latest tormentor, also made it through the next round.
