In the J30 Accra – Tennis Foundation Ghana Open, Jeff Frimpong of Ghana and Denzel Darkey of Great Britain have earned a spot in the Boys’ Doubles final after a hard‑fought semi‑final victory.
They defeated Australia’s Noah Kaneda‑Hession and Nigeria’s Seyi Ebenezer Ogunsakin, overturning a 6‑0 first‑set loss to win the second set 6‑4 and clinching the match tie‑break 10‑5.
The top‑seeded pair of Yarden Shalom Gamlie from Israel and Shivtej Shirfule of India also advanced to the final, overcoming fellow Israeli Ran Berger and South Africa’s Hlumani Kekana. After losing the first set 4‑6, they rallied to take the second 6‑3 and edged the deciding tie‑break 15‑13, a contest that lasted one hour and 26 minutes.
Both teams have shown a capacity to recover from difficult positions, setting the stage for a competitive championship match on Sunday at Accra Stadium. Gamlie and Shirfule aim to secure the title, while Darkey and Frimpong look to capitalize on their home‑court advantage.
