The New Zealand number two Dan King-Turner has kept local hopes alive after a strong
win in the quarter-finals of the Pro Circuit tennis Futures tournament in Hamilton.
King-Turner beat Australian Rameez Junaid 6-4 7-6(2) to advance to his first semifinal of the year.

The top seed Catsten Ball of Australia will play the Chinese Davis Cup player and qualifier Ze Zhang in the other semi-final.
