Rahber Thariani defeats Martin Uylangco
2-6, 6-1, 7-5

Super tough and close match with Martin “The Magician” Ulyango. Martin started out incredibly well and pushed me under 4 – 0 before I held serve and finally won a game. He was serving huge lefty bombs, and was a net demon!

I fired back in the 2^nd set with some big serving and pulled it out 6-1.

I was expecting Martin to be mentally out of it in the 3^rd set but he hung super tough and had a break point to go up 3-5 in the 3^rd (which a fast serve out wide bailed me out of).

I broke to go up 5-4 but Martin immediately broke back to level the set. The 5-5 game was a seesaw but I finally took it and was able to close it out.

Awesome match – 10/10 would recommend!
