Friday was a “hill and gully ride” for Brandon Burke. Although he was defeated in the singles quarter finals by American Abrielle Flores (6-3, 6-4), his campaign in the doubles continues in the semi finals.
He and Darian Clarke of Barbados defeated Nick Rowlands of Great Britain and Jarret Brasseaux of the United States 4-6, 7-6, 7-5. They then posted a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 win over Octavio Parim of Brazil and Ian Urigyen of Guatemala. This set them up to face Americans Greg Vlaimersky and Ric Rappicioli in the semi-final.
