ONE OF THE PLAYERS TO KEEP AN
EYE ON ... IS PORTAGE NATIVE
BILL DUO...THIS IS THE FOURTH
STRAIGHT YEAR HE'S COMPETED IN
THE MARQUEE BOYS TOURNAMENT ...
IN 2016... HE ADVANCED TO THE
ROUND OF SIXTEEN...THAT WAS
HIS BEST PERFORMANCE ON THIS
STAGE... WHICH TELLS YOU JUST
HOW TALENTED HE IS..HE'LL BE
HEADING TO PRINCETON SOON ...
SO THIS IS LAST JUNIOR

DUO: DEFINATELY THIS
TOURNAMENT FOR ME IS THE
FUNNEST TOURNAMENT OF THE
YEAR. ALL THE LOCAL FANS COME
OUT AND SUPPORT ME, THAT'S
JUST REALLY WHAT MAKES THIS
TOURNAMENT SO SPECIAL. I GET
TO PLAY IN FRONT OF MY
FRIENDS, TEACHERS AND FAMILY.
IT'S REALLY A SPECIAL PLACE,
THE FACT THE BIGGEST
TOURNAMENT OF THE YEAR IS IN
MY HOME TOWN, IS REALLY COOL.
