moving into the limelight after destroying second seed Eldon Daniels 6-1, 5-0 (retired) in men's A play at the Tennis Stadium yesterday.

With one of the largest crowds of the tournament so far in the gallery, Harris methodically altered his game, from point to point, game to game, taking just 22 minutes to win the opening set, faster afoot, quickest to the net, and more accurate with his strokes.

"I figured the player who made the less mistakes would be the player to win, and I intentionally tried to cut down on my unforced efforts,'' said a jubilant Harris after the match.

Harris broke Daniels in the opening game of the second set when he sent a deep backhand to Daniels' backhand, rushed the net and was easily placed to volley a winner to an open forehand court.

The strategy was to use less force and it worked.

"The last time I played him it was all war because he feeds off pace. So this time around I served with less pace and used both sides of the court more, forcing him to exert more energy in his returns and it worked like a charm'' said Harris.

Trailing 5-0 Daniels was serving to stay in the match but he double faulted to go down love-15. Then he was wide attempting a forehand shot down the line to put himself in an almost impossible position at love-30, but then amazingly Daniels defaulted, leaving the court immediately for the dressing room.

Harris, like top seed James Collieson, moved through the men's A division without dropping a set. That will change for one of them when they meet in tomorrow's final.

Meanwhile the Island's second young teenage sensation Ashley Brooks booked her place in the women's B semifinal when she outlasted Heldi Ringsted 6-3, 3-6, 6-2.

The workout should stand her in good stead for her next encounter against Bermuda's top female player teenager Zara DeSilva in the semi-finals of the women's A division. DeSilva earned the trip with a straight set victory over Pat Pamplin 6-0, 6-1.

Then in one of the biggest comebacks of the tournament Julie Lunn and Shonette Wilson saved three set points when down 5-1, 40-0, in the second set, roaring back to beat Rose Stupfel and Shelly Galvin 6-1, 7-6 (7-0).

The run of Darion Thomas came to a sudden stop when he faced second seed Coleridge Place in the men's B semi-finals, losing 6-1, 6-1 a day after he had come from 4-1 down in the final set to beat third seed Jason Hope 2-6, 6-2, 6-4. Place will now face top seed Wilfred Gonsalves in the final. Gonsalves advanced following his 6-3, 6-1 win over Leslie Stowe.
