Philip has started his tennis year off in stellar fashion with the three main draw participation. He will have one more chance this upcoming week on this tour as he competes along with Joshua Turnquest in the next Pro Circuit Tournament in Turkey.

This was the third time in three weeks he played in the Main Draw of an International Tennis Pro Circuit Event. He is definitely making a name for himself in the European Region.

Philip has been very successful with wins over Mert Altinalev from Turkey 6-2,6-3. Philip then played the 9th seeded player Milan Habrman from Slovakia 6-2,6-2. This two month tour on the Pro Circuit continues to garner much exposure and attention for the 19 year old Bahamian tennis standout athlete.

Philip is focused and says he hopes to advance further in the next tournament.
