East Africa ITF Tennis Circuit Day 5

Isaac Stoute
Joshua Luck kept the South African flag flying when he started the day with his singles semi-final match, in the searing heat of Mombasa, a match which was very tough, and which he won 6-4 6-1 against top seed J. Lock (ZIM). The second singles semi-final went to Sadili's special friend, Isaac Stoute (UK), who beat I. Mzai (KEN) 6-4 7-6(6)

Thereafter, the doubles semi-finals came on, with Joshua Luck and our own Amadi Kagoma and though they fought valiantly, they faced a very fresh team of second seeds, L. Harris/B. Scheepbouwer, who won 6-2 6-4. They live to fight another day.

Heywood would drive to a 5 car length lead before a yellow flag slowed the pace on lap-23. With lane choice for the green-white-checkered finish, Heywood selected the outside and worked the cushion to a victory.                 "I was glad to have lane choice," Heywood said. "It was slick down low in the middle of the turns, so I was hoping to get him (Picotin) to spin the tires."                 Picotin held on to the second spot at the finish line. Jamy Begor, Bucko Branham finished in the third and fourth positions.                 Apparent fifth place finisher, Justin Severance fai...
