The excitement builds again in Far North Queensland as the Cairns International Pro Tour Week 2 Finals approach. With the Quarter Finals wrapped up yesterday, the stage is set for  Semi Final matches in the Singles and Finals for the Doubles.

In a fiercely contested quarterfinal, top seed Omar Jasika was pushed to the limit by Jacob Bradshaw, delivering one of the most gripping matches of the tournament. After a nearly three-hour long match, Jasika defeated his opponent 7-5, 7-6(0).

In the Women’s Singles Semi Finals, Australia’s No.9 female player Destanee Aiava will face off against World No. 1 Junior Emerson Jones on Centre Court, with Maddison Inglis and Elena Micic battling it out after, both eager to secure a spot in Sunday’s final.

The Men’s Singles will feature a highly anticipated clash between second seed Marc Polmans and fourth seed Blake Ellis, followed by an exciting match between third seed Philip Sekulic and top seed Omar Jasika.

The Doubles took centre stage last night, with thrilling twilight semi final matches setting the scene for the Doubles Final beginning today. Petra Hule and Alana Parnaby will compete against Destanee Aiava and Alexandra Bozovic for the Women’s Doubles title. In the Men’s Doubles, dynamic brother duo Jake and Jesse Delaney will face Tibo Coleman and Thijmen Loof all vying for the top spot.

Tournament Director Jason Simmons said, “It is great to see the Australian Pro Tour continue in Cairns for another week, and we are thrilled for a weekend of exceptional tennis finals.”
