The excitement continues at the Queensland Tennis Centre as the Brisbane QTC Tennis International Pro Tour Week 1 Finals approach. With today’s Quarterfinals wrapped up, the stage is set for tomorrow’s Semi-Final in the Singles and Final for the Doubles.

In a fiercely contested quarterfinal, Sixth Seed Omar Jasika was pushed to the limit by fellow Australian James McCabe, delivering one of the most gripping matches of the tournament. After an almost three-and-a-half-hour-long battle, Jasika defeated his opponent 6-7(7), 6-2, 7-5 securing his spot in the Men’s Singles semi-final.

On the Women’s side, World No.1 Junior Emerson Jones showed dominant form defeating top seed Maddison Inglis 7-6(5), 6-3,6-4. After a gruelling first set ending in a tiebreak, Jones continued to push back against her opponent in the remaining sets, securing her spot in the semi-final.

In tomorrow’s Men’s Singles Semi-Final, Omar Jasika will face Marek Gengel, with both aiming to secure a place in the final. Following that, Second Seed Adam Walton will take on Fifth Seed Tristan Schoolkate.

Tomorrow’s Women’s Singles Semi-final will feature an all-Queensland showdown as Third Seed Priscilla Hon takes on Wild Card entry Emerson Jones. Meanwhile, Leonie Küng and Astra Sharma will go head-to-head in a battle for a spot in Sunday’s final match.

The Doubles Semi-Final produced spectacular tennis, setting up for an exciting finals match. In the Women’s Doubles Final, Taylah Preston and Lizette Cabrera [3] will battle fellow Australians Petra Hule and Elena Micic [4] for the title. Meanwhile, the Men’s Doubles Final will see Joshua Charlton and Patrick Harper [3] take on Matthew Christos Romios and Colins Sinclair [4] in a showdown for the top spot.
