Murphy Jensen Competing in ATP Champions Event in London's Royal Albert Hall

Kastles Coach Murphy Jensen and his brother Luke are competing this week at the ATP Champions Tour year end event at Royal Albert Hall in London. The Champions Tour is a year-long tour that features former tennis champions against each other.

The Jensen brother are playing in doubles draw of the AEGEON Master Tennis Tournament which draws over 35,000 fans over the week and features such tennis greats as Stefan Edberg, Pat Rafter, Pat Cash, Mark Philippoussis and Goran Ivanisevic.

The doubles tournament is a six match round robin with eight game pro sets.

Murphy and Luke have won their first four matches - 3 in deciding tie-breakers - and are well-positioned to make the weekend semis and finals. As Muphy told us, "Royal Albert Hall is kind of a cool place to play but it's not Kastles Stadium! I have been thinking about Kastles Nation all week and our motto every match is REFUSE TO LOSE!!"

We will keep all Kastles fans posted as Murphy advances.
