TRINIDAD and Tobago players cruised into the doubles final after being eliminated from singles when the ITF (International Tennis Federation) 13 & Under Caribbean Development Championships Thursday in Curacao.

Ethan Ammon and Gianluc Robinson were seeded to reach the title match and the No. 2 seeds did so in style with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Edan Martes and Sergei Pinto of the Netherland Antilles.

The top-seeded Bermudans James Finnegan, who defeated Robinson 6-0, 6-3 in the singles quarter-finals, and singles favourite Christopher Rego, will tackle Robinson and Ammon in the final after whipping Bahamians Malik Jones and Oneal Mortimer 6-2, 6-1.

Ammon, who reached the under-14 semis of both singles and doubles in an ITF junior tournament two weeks ago, suffered a heart-breaking loss in the quarters when Mani King of St Vincent edged the left hander 6-2, 4-6, 12/10.

Ammon, Robinson, Mortimer and Barbadian Dylan Hall will conclude their two-day battle to finish fifth when the tournament winds down today. Ammon crushed Mortimer 4-0, 4-0 in the round-robin phase on Tuesday.

Players from 14 countries--Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Dominica, Guyana, Jamaica, Netherland Antilles, St Lucia, St Vincent, Suriname, T&T, United States Virgin Islands (USVI)--completed during the week, but T&T were one of the few without female representation.
