Match highlights
On the 2012 Wimbledon Championships he was playing doubles with Michael Jeremiasz of France against two-time Wimbledon champions Robin Ammerlaan and Ronald Vink both of which were from the Netherlands as well. The match started with a 5-2 lead which ended with 6-4 due to the opponents constant errors. The second set brought even more victory for Egberink and Jeremiasz with the score of 2-1. Unfortunately, the rain got in a way when they were 40-0 in the fourth game. After the game resumed an hour later Egberink and Jeremiasz won the first point but the opponents got the point next as well. In the second set the Dutch duo was unable to control forehands resulting in 6-2 win for Tom and Michael in the second set.[1]
