Tennis Duo Claim Titles Following Florida Training Camp
|
Bermudian tennis enjoyed a lucrative week in Florida as Trey Mallory and Lee Terceira both stormed to tournament victories following an intensive week-long training camp with coach Jhonny Berrido.
Mallory sealed top spot by winning the Battle of Boca wildcard tournament, providing a major boost ahead of his upcoming regional assignments. Meanwhile, compatriot Terceira capped off a dominant trip by securing victory in a separate USTA Tournament in Boca, Florida.
The success came as part of a wider training squad in Florida, which also included Tariq Simons and Daniel Phillips.
Simons produced a solid run before bowing out in the quarter-finals of the Battle of Boca event, while Phillips focused solely on the training regimen.
The squad now shifts focus to an action-packed upcoming schedule:
CAC Games Bound: Both Mallory and Phillips have departed Florida to represent Bermuda at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games.
On the Ranch: Simons and Terceira remain in Florida for a second week of intensive preparation at the tennis ranch alongside coach Berrido.
The ongoing camp holds significant long-term stakes for both remaining players. Simons is aiming to sharpen his game ahead of September, where he is pushing to secure a spot on the Bermuda Davis Cup team for their high-profile home tie against Mexico.
For Terceira, the Florida swing forms a key pillar in her long-term development as she continues her ambition to become Bermuda’s top-ranked player in the years ahead.

Mallory Battles to Claim Florida Title & Book Paraguay Spot

Tennis prospect Trey Mallory has secured a career-defining breakthrough after a grueling, three-set victory in the final of the Battle of Boca wildcard tournament in Florida.
The result will get coverage from the daily paper now, they have watched regular coverage, and now they will show interest because we are reporting Mallory won!
The 24-year-old third seed showed immense resilience to bounce back from a mid-match slump, defeating American Avner Wong via a tense, third-set tie-breaker to capture the title.
The victory guarantees Mallory a highly coveted main draw wildcard spot at the upcoming ITF M15K ATC Open (Men's Open) in Asunción, Paraguay. The triumph will also provide the perfect springboard for the Bermudian, who will head directly to the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games full of momentum.
Mallory started the final on the front foot, breaking his American opponent early to claim a hard-fought first set 6-4.
However, Wong—who had reached the final after a grueling three-set semi-final of his own—roared back into contention. The American dominated the second set from the baseline, capitalising on a string of unforced errors from the Bermudian to take it 6-1 and level the match.
With everything on the line, Mallory dug deep in the decisive match tie-breaker. Regrouping quickly, the 24-year-old rediscovered the clinical baseline form that saw him sweep aside Argentina’s Balthazar Orsanic in the semi-finals. Mallory kept his composure under immense pressure, pulling away to take the tie-breaker 10-5 and book his ticket to Paraguay.

Mallory Charges Into Semi-Finals as Simons Bows Out
|
Bermudian third seed Trey Mallory enjoyed a dominant double-match day to seal his place in the semi-finals of the Battle of Boca Wildcard event in Florida.
The stakes remain incredibly high at the clay-court tournament, where the last man standing will secure a coveted, direct main draw wildcard entry into the prestigious ITF M15K ATC Open in Asunción, Paraguay.
But while Mallory’s dream of professional transition play is burning brighter than ever, his compatriot Tariq Simons saw his campaign come to an abrupt halt.
The day began on a contrasting note for the Bermudian contingent in the Round of 16.
Simons, who had navigated a grueling, two-match opening day, ran into a brick wall in the shape of Tristan Ryerson. The clinical American completely dictated the tempo, handing Simons a harsh straight-sets defeat, 6-0, 6-2.
On the adjacent court, Mallory faced a much stiffer physical test in his morning match against American Heath Waters.
In a tightly contested opening set where breaks of serve were hard to come by, Mallory showed immense mental fortitude to edge a high-pressure tiebreak. With the momentum firmly in his favor, the Bermudian third seed capitalized on his opponent's errors to comfortably seal a 7-6, 6-3 victory.
With very little time to recover, Mallory returned to the court for his quarter-final clash against another formidable American opponent, Enzo Carvalho.
The physical toll of his morning match seemed non-existent as Mallory put on an absolute clinic. Dominating from the baseline with heavy groundstrokes and efficient net play, he broke Carvalho early in both sets to race to a comprehensive 6-1, 6-2 victory.
The two wins mean Mallory is now just two victories away from securing a life-changing wildcard spot in South America. He moves on to tomorrow's semi-finals in peak form, carrying Bermuda's sole hopes on the Florida Hard Court.

Bermudian Duo Launch Campaign for World Cup Spot
|
Bermudian tennis stars Tariq Simons and Trey Mallory made a clinical start on day one of the Battle of Boca Wildcard event, putting themselves firmly in the hunt for a coveted spot in Paraguay.
The stakes are incredibly high at the Florida-based tournament, where the overall winner will secure a direct main draw wildcard entry into the prestigious ITF M15K ATC Open in Asunción, Paraguay.
Simons, who was forced to take the scenic route on a busy opening day, navigated his way through two taxing matches to keep his qualification hopes alive.
In his opening Round of 64 clash, Simons delivered a highly disciplined performance to defeat Mexico's Juan Pablo Lopez in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4.
He was quickly back on court for the Round of 32, where he showed immense resilience to edge past American London Vasilescu. After wrestling through a grueling first-set tiebreak, Simons found his rhythm to close out a hard-fought 7-6, 6-4 victory.
Teammate Mallory, entering the draw as the tournament's third seed, benefited from an opening-round bye.
Mallory showed no signs of cold feet in his tournament opener, asserting his dominance early in the Round of 32. He routinely dispatched Chile’s Maximo Quiñonez with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 victory, ensuring both Bermudians advance to the next stage of the bracket in impressive fashion.
