Another marathon match in the 18s saw wild card Fred Saba save two match points in the third set tiebreaker to defeat No. 11 seed Tom Farquharson of Great Britain 6-7(5), 6-2, 7-6(6) in the morning match, which extended into the afternoon. When Saba hit a forehand into the net at 4-5 in the tiebreaker, Farquharson had two chances to end it, but he missed two backhands, and the match was again all even. Saba took control of the next point with his forehand, forcing an error from Farquharson, and another backhand error gave Saba the victory.
