HEIMRAJ Resaul upset the number one seed, Gavin Lewis, in the Guyana Tennis Association (GTA)-organised, ITF-sponsored Safe Tennis Tournament on Saturday evening at the Le Ressouvenir Tennis Court on the East Coast of Demerara.

The 19-year-old, who performed admirably throughout the entire tournament, won 6-2 6-7 (7-1) (10-2).

In the other semi-final, number two-seeded player, Benjaton Osbourne defeated Andre Lopes 7-5, 6-2.

Lopes, who had played well throughout the knockout competition, is an Over-45 player and has not played Men Singles for a number of years, so he was unseeded.

Resaul and Lewis were scheduled to play in the final on Sunday afternoon, but inclement weather forced the organisers of the competition to re-schedule the event to this afternoon.

Meanwhile, in the consolation semi-finals, Javed Khan defeated Wayne Baker 6-7 (7-2), 6-4 (10-7), while Ronald Murray got a walkover from David Rose.  The consolation final is also scheduled for this afternoon.

The Safe Tennis Tournament is the first event by the GTA since it was given permission to re-start the sport by the Ministry of Health.

A total of 19 players competed in the Men’s Singles competition.
