AJMAN - Top seed Marwan Al Kaissi was made to sweat by 13-year-old Jordan Janez before winning 2-1 in the first Ajman Kempinski Open Junior Tennis, a UAE national ranking event held under the guidance of Tennis Emirates at the Kempinski Ajman Tennis courts.
Marwan started off in fine fashion to win the first set 6-2. In the second set Jordan with his big forehand fought hard to win it 7-6 (8) in the tie breaker. But Marwan fought back in the third set serving better and raised the tempo to win 6-2.
In the other semifinals, second seed Adarsh Ramesh was outplayed by Dylan Mendonca 6-1, 6-3.
