victory over British Virgin Islands in Florida yesterday.

The team was given a great start after sweeping the first four doubles matches and the mixed trebles for an early 5-0 lead.

Despite a setback in mixed doubles where Jimmy Pratt and Liz Simons were beaten 2-1 by K.Gardener and T.King, Bermuda clinched the opening win when Terry Cartwright beat King 2-0 in women's singles.

Vernon Daniels leads the local players with two 180s, in the men's doubles and mixed doubles, while Charles Roberts had a 180 in his singles win.

Jamaica head the early standings after a 9-2 win over Turks and Caicos while hosts Florida and Bahamas had yet to play.
