Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — Filipino tennis player Treat Huey and his Slovenian partner Andreja Klepac failed to advance to the 2016 Australian Open mixed doubles finals after losing to Coco Vandeweghe and Horia Tecau, 6-4, 6-4, in the semifinals on Friday (January 29).
Huey and Klepac started out the first set quickly but failed to maintain their momentum and eventually succumbed to a 6-4 defeat.
The Filipino and the Slovenian started the second set in similar fashion, but saw their opponents rush to a 4-2 lead early on.
The pair were able to reduce the deficit to 5-4, but were unable to break Tecau’s serve and ended up dropping the second set.
This was the furthest Huey has ever gone in the mixed doubles category of a grand slam tournament.
