Huey, partner claim doubles

MANILA, Philippines - Treat Huey of the Philippines kept it going with his Indian partner Puray Raja when they bagged the doubles title in the recent Cremona Challenger in Italy.

Huey and Raja scored a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Tomasz Bednarek and Mateusz Kowalczyk. They made it look so easy ranged against their unseeded rivals from Poland.
