Sasha Fisher and Ashley Brooks will team up in the girls' doubles final at the Caribbean 14-and-under Development Championhips today, after edging through a tough semi-final yesterday.

The teenagers overcame Marian Eelens and Jo Ann Banderaerde of Surinam in a second-set tiebreaker, after having made quick work of the first set. The Bermudians won 6-2, 7-6 (7-3).

Fisher also sealed third place in the main draw singles, by defeating her fellow losing semi-finalist Hope Pollonais of Trinidad, 6-0, 6-2.

Brooks won the consolation section to earn ninth place in the singles, after she defeated Melissa McCullen of Barbados, 6-2, 6-0.

Bermuda's boys' doubles team of Kris Frick and John Masters made it to the last four, before being ousted.

In the quarter-finals, they got the better of Trinidad's Stuart Perkins and Brent Kueitung in a three-set thriller, eventually winning 5-7, 6-2, 7-6.

They returned immediately to the court to play their semi-final match - a necessity as time was constrained due to rain - and lost to Aruba's Grant Hodgson and Ricardo Velasquez, 7-5, 6-3.

Frick and Masters had to play each other in the consolation singles as well yesterday, Masters winning 6-2, 6-2 to win the ninth and 10th place play-off.

Bermuda now have 14 points in the standings and should Fisher and Brooks win today, they would finish the event with 22 points, which should be good enough to earn either second or third place overall. Last year, the Island placed fourth in Trinidad.
