US OPEN 2010: A Filipino in Flushing Meadows - Jeson Patrombon


I learned today that there is a Filipino in this year's US Open!  How cool is that? His name is Jeson Patrombon and he comes from Iligan City, my own birthplace!  He's 17 years old and already has a ranking in the ITF. 

He lost both his singles and doubles matches though.  In the singles, he was defeated by Duilio Beretta of Peru 6-2, 7-5.  In doubles, his partner was Michael Zhu of the US but they lost again to Duilio Beretta and his partner, Roberto Quiroz of Ecuador, 6-4, 6-3.

But those are respectable scores, so I hope he continues to play in the ITF circuit to gain more practice and to keep his rankings up.
