Jo-Wilfried Tsonga played a starring role for the Mavericks, winning his singles and men's doubles clash, while Mark Philippoussis maintained his unbeaten record in the 'icons' encounter.

Manila kept pressure on the IPTL pacesetters, following up Sunday's win over UAE Royals, and Singapore remain rooted to the bottom.

Tsonga eased to a 6-2 win over Nick Kyrgios in the opening singles, but the Australian made amends in the mixed doubles when he successfully teamed up with Daniela Hantuchova in a 6-3 win for the Slammers.

Singapore appeared to have seized control of the match after Hantuchova completed a 6-2 victory over Kirsten Flipkens in the women's singles.

But Tsonga and Daniel Nestor staged a stunning fight back as they inflicted a 6-0 rout on Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt in the doubles.

Phillippoussis then continued his commanding form in the competition, completing victory with a 6-3 win over another fellow Aussie, Patrick Rafter.
