Road Runner Pro Tennis Classic

Tarango Advances To Futures Doubles Final In Milwaukee

August 9, 2008 by McCarton Ackerman

Jeff Tarango continued his winning ways during his “comeback” tournament at the Time Warner Cable “Road Runner Pro Tennis Classic”,  a $10,000 futures event in Elm Grove, Wisconsin, by advancing to the finals of the doubles event. Tarango and partner Edward Kelly defeated the top-seeded team of Dane Fernandez and Adam Thompson, 6-2, 7-6 (2).
In a match that featured several verbal exchanges between Tarango and Thompson, the American pair jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and broke Fernandez’s set to clinch the opening set. Both team traded service holds all the way through the second set before Tarango and Kelly took the match by dominating the second set tiebreak. They will pay the No. 3 seeds, Raven Klaasen and Ryan Young, in Sunday’s championship match.
Kelly will be looking for his first ever professional title, while Tarango will be looking for his first doubles title in eight years, and his first ever USTA Pro Circuit doubles title. Tarango’s last tournament win came at Gstaad back in 2000. Tarango’s only USTA Pro Circuit title to date came when he won the challenger event in Winnetka, Illinois, back in 1988.
