Team USA Wins the Final Test Series
Different Team USA; but same result against the same finalist. With Jonathan Silva and Nick Mendonca out on the weekend (both with nagging injuries), Team USA fielded a new squad in Will ‘SuperBoy’ Lobato and Fernando Plentz. Different team, same result! The Brazilians were hoping to take one title home; but the phenom Landim will have to wait until next time as he and Lucas Paes fell in the Championship Match for the 3rd Weekend in a row!
Paraguay’s Moises Davalos and Ivan Davalos proved a tough test early for the Americans; but Team USA were able to pull through.
Some excellent play also came from Italy’s Antonio Santarsiero and Paraguayan Julio Vera.
In the semi-finals both Team USA and Brazil had light-work against Tour All-Star teams respectively before reaching the final.
Some shots from today!
