#1 Seed Upset

The 16^th Senior CASA Championships started today with the individuals for both men and women. The players had to compete the first and second rounds on Friday to facilitate the finals on Monday. The first round matches in the men’s section began the upsets with unseeded Bryant Cumberbatch (B’dos) defeating #16 seed Ryan Abraham (T&T), 3 games to one, 9/2, 7/9, 9/5, 9/0. The Jamaicans experience a good day with 3 males advancing to the 2^nd round and two of those moving to the Quarterfinals. In the women’s section, all 5 Jamaican women advanced to the 2^nd round and three of those moving on to Quarterfinals with Anita Bicknell (#13) securing an upset of the (#5 seed) Jennifer Armstrong of Barbados. Numbers 1 and 2 seeds, Karen Meakins and Karen Anderson, Barbados and Jamaica respectively also advanced. Tracy Binnie (#15 seed) defeated Bo Harris (#7) of Barbados, 3/0 (9/6, 9/5, 10/9) 

The major upset of the evening was the defeat of the #1 seed, Patrick Foster (Bermuda) at the hands of Paul Deverteuil, (T&T), #9 seed. This match saw the Trinidadian using his volley drop shots to effective use and moving Foster who was not mobile enough to cover the drops. The match was very physical and at times contentious but eventually Deverteuil prevailed to secure the upset, 3 games to 1 (9/6, 7/9, 5/9, 5/9). 

Quarterfinal matches start on Saturday, August 11, 2007 at 2 p.m. and continue with the semifinals and finals on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Come out and watch, admission is free.
