it was a great game!!! maganda rin ang pinakita ni pj tierro. ang laki ng improvement nya. the power is already there all he needs to improve is his accuracy and add more speed on his movements.

Congratulations!!! Team Philippines!!!!For those PTO members who witness the tough and heartpumping match How do you describe the moments the Philippines won? I saw some pictures of the stands are not full that's the reality of Philippine Tennis now. That's why here at PTO we should work to make Philippine Tennis more fame and many people involve in sports. If we win next round then the Philippine Tennis back to where it belongs for 2 or 3 more years. The problem is transition who will be the next after Mamiit and Taino? The Philta always rely on Fil Ams why not have a program for the next generation? Wake Up Philta!!!

I felt proud to be Pinoy when we won the Davis Cup tie.  |

It was a good idea to have P.J. Tierro to play the last singles game. The experience and opportunity to play for your own country in front of Filipinos is very valuable. We are hopeful that this will serve as an inspiration for our hopefuls i.e. Kyle Dandan, Nino Alcantara, Kevin Barte, Pablo Olivarez II, etc.

Mamiit seals Davis Cup win over Pakistan
By Abac Cordero
The Philippine Star 02/12/2007
Behind the efforts of Fil-American Cecil Mamiit, the Philippines got rid of Pakistan yesterday and will next face New Zealand in its determined bid to regain its spot in Group 1 of the Davis Cup Asia Oceania Zone.
The 30-year-old Mamiit, who has endeared himself to the Filipinos since he won the gold in the 2005 Manila SEA Games, demolished Aqeel Jalil, 6-1, 6-3, 6-2, at the packed Rizal Memorial Tennis Center.
Mamiit gave the Philippines an insurmountable 3-1 lead in the Group 2 best-of-five tie against Pakistan. PJ Tierro made it 4-1 by beating Yasir Khan, 6-3, 6-0, in a non-bearing contest.
The Philippines advanced to the next round against New Zealand, which is safely up, 3-0, in its own tie against Pacific Oceania. The RP-New Zealand matchup is set April 6 to 8 in Aukland.
On the other half of the Asia Oceania Group 2 are Kuwait, which is 3-0 up against Iran, and Indonesia which is ahead 2-1 against Hong Kong. The winner of the April ties will advance to the finals on September.
Only the top team will climb to Group 1 next year, and join teams like Japan, Korea, China and Kazakhstan. In the World Group are the kings – France, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, United States and reigning champion Russia.
The Philippines last made it to Group 1 in 1995 with players like Joseph Lizardo and Bobby Angelo. It’s been to the World Group, too, in 1991 behind Felix Barrientos and Roland So, and has emerged as Eastern Zonal champion in late ’50s and early ’60s behind Felicisimo Ampon.
With the entry of Mamiit and fellow Fil-American Eric Taino, and a sprinkling of homegrown talents like Johnny Arcilla and Tierro, regaining a spot in Group 1 has become a big possibility.
"We’re making sure that we’re heading toward the right direction. We’re now seeing the progress of Philippine tennis," said Mamiit who just loves playing for the Philippines.
Mamiit and Taino have sacrificed a lot just to be here. They’ve given up a lot of perks, benefits from the US Tennis Association, and of course a lot of money by missing tournaments in the US and play in the Davis Cup.
It’s the second Davis Cup tie for these pair of Fil-Americans. Last year they also helped the Philippines beat Iran at the Manila Polo Club. They won gold medals in the SEA Games, and a bronze in the Asian Games.
"I’m having a lot of goose bumps right now. It’s a pleasure playing here. I see people smiling. I love the crowd. I love the enthusiasm. I see a lot of kids. I hope someday they’ll be part of this.
"I’m fortunate to be a Filipino. I’m brown and proud. I like adobo and madaming kanin (plenty of rice)," Mamiit shouted over the microphone as his father Cesar, from Laguna, watched with pride.
"It’s always an unforgettable experience every time we play here," said Taino as the beautiful crowd watched and cheered from the stands.

So PROUD of them! Kudos To Mamiit, Taino, Arcilla and Tierro. You make us proud to be pinoys. IMO , Mamiit has a case for being the best Pinoy tennis player ever.

Morning po sa mga PTO! Napanood din po namin ang mga laro at sarap po pala ng feeling kapag nanalo ang Team Philippines ang gagaling nila. Di namin alam kung may mga PTO kaming mga katabi pero i guess lahat ng naka blue ang suot at red ay mga PTO members. Sayang di kami nakapagpractice after the game kasi magsimba ang family namin.. Ngayon masaya na rin kami parang kami ang nanalo.. Mabuhay ang Philippine Team ant Mabuhay din ang PTO.!

Sabi ko sa inyo, No match ang Pakistan sa Philippine Team. Kailangan manalo tayo against NEW ZEALAND sa April. Sa New Zealand ang laban hindi tayo makapanood pero pagmay pamasahe kayo sama kayo to cheer the Philippine Team.

Nag start na ba ng training ang players natin for the tie vs. New Zealand? I think they will play on grass court.
