Yep, this is the first ever international tournement that is being held and guess what? I am with the LINE JUDGES!!!!
the only result i got about this event is that the MS champion was Jeffer Rosobin. the 1996 asian champion. jug8man
nope. no news yet seven. but i can confirm on the ms results because he came to my local club this year and he keeps in contact with us personally. he's one tough dude i tell you even at his age! cheers. jug
no update from ibf on results..... i cant confirm this but i hear the losing finalist was Marleve Manaiky. jug
Yep I was judging the service line in the final (quite a nice line to judge! as afterwards u can literally watch the whole rally!)Marleve gave up in the second set as he had some problem with his thigh muscle, i think.
