Keelan clearly on a roll! The Frogs despatched the fourth seeds in straight sets, but nevertheless, I'd've thought, a chance...

Jaffa · Challenger level

Quite a match going on out in Egypt.

Keelan was a break down for a lot of the first but squeaked it on a breaker.

Harris won the second easily and went a break up in the third. Keelan recovered it at 3-4* but then lost his serve from 40-0 in the next game.

Harris, then serving for the match had 2 match points but DFd on one of them, and Keelan broke back.

*5-5

So close! hmm Well played, lad!

Keelan had two break points in the final game but couldn't force a tiebreak.

Still a great week!

Pity, successive very impressive looking performances by Keelan.

Pointswise the QF is never a good point to lose in futures, but continue to perform at that level and there will be more coming Keelan's way.

Sadly, it all unravelled for Keelan today. cry
