EOGHAN JENNINGS’ HOPES of becoming the first Irish player to qualify for the Australian Open Boys singles main draw since Simon Carr in 2017 went awry in the early hours in Melbourne.
The Mayo youngster lost to Odysseas Geladarais of Greece 6-3, 3-6, 6-1.
Jennings’ week was looking promising after he beat Jan Sadzik of Poland in the qualifier semi-final.
However, he got off to a slow start again, losing the first set as he had against Sadzik. While he clawed that back by claiming the second set, his Greek opponent found a run of form to settle the issue, 6-1.
