Poor Mark was 5-2 up in the third set (might even have been 5-1 up)

And was playing/continued to play well

And had a packet of MPs

But Jamie played incredibly aggressive brave points on MP - it wasn't really Mark who did much wrong

And the games had tons of deuces - and Mark just couldn't get over the line

And Jamie is roaring like a lion on every point

And, right at the end, Mark's head dropped

It was a shame - but Mackenzie certainly played some very good clutch tennis

I wonder why Jamie is not playing for Scotland!

To add to the Scottish names playing abroad, he had a successful doubles partnership with German Niels McDonald last year. Jamie was born in New Zealand and moved to Germany with his father, who is a tennis coach

Boys QF

(3) Jamie Mackenzie (GER) d. (12) Mark Ceban 2-6 7-5 7-5

Mark had tons of MPs against Jamie - couldn't quite do it

But Jamie went on to take the J500 title very comfortably

Some comfort for Mark ????
