Brothers Joshua and Ty Abraham, the final remaining T&T representatives were ejected at the doubles semifinal stage in the International Tennis Federation (ITF) Juniors Tournament in Barbados on Thursday evening by their Mexican opponents.
What looked to be a strong comeback turned to a heartbreaking defeat for the duo, who lost 2-6, 6-3, 10-6 against Gerardo Penchyna and Jesus Santiago Suarez. The win for the latter put them into the final against top-seeded British doubles pair Charlie Riddout and Robbie Riddout. The local brothers, despite the last-four defeat fared better in the doubles segment, as evidence of both players' exit in the first challenge of the singles tournament.
The loss for the Abraham brothers came just a day after Breana Stampfli, T&T's top-ranked girls player was eliminated in the singles segment 6-7(2), 7-5, 6-1 to American Jenna Friedel.
