Daniel Phillips through to final in Guatemala
Bermudian Daniel Phillips has reached the final of the J4 Guatemala Tournament which is part of the ITF World Tennis Tour Juniors circuit.

Building on that momentum, further success followed in the second round, with a hard fought victory against Humza Noor of the United States, winning 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, before he comfortably defeated Atakan Karahan of Turkey 6-2, 6-1 to reach the final four.
