Tom Jarvis finally could win a Pro Series event after finishing third in his first three tries. Today he managed to win over Italian player Amato in the semis. Yannick Vostes had zero problems with german defender Bluhm who he beat easily with 3-0.
In the finals Tom had faster feet and harder strokes than his opponent from Belgium. Combined with a good service Jarvis had the upper hand in most details and if you managed to be the better in the small detals you usually win table tennis matches and this was what happened today. Tom Jarvis with a 3-1 win and his first win of Pro Series.
Congrats Tom!
