George L pulled off a great win, beating the top seed.

But then some unheralded Italian rained on our parade, disposing of Kai in the semis and of George (by a very narrow margin) in the final. But a very good week in Kenya, all the same...

George LOFFHAGEN (GBR) [10] def. Sheil KOTECHA (KEN) [1] 6-2 6-7(3) 6-1

Lorenzo ROTTOLI (ITA) def. Kai MAXTED (GBR) 6-0 6-2
