CURTIS JONES’ dreams of winning a national singles title in road tennis will have to wait for another tournament.

The number three ranked player who had advanced to the final in the first edition of the Massy United Insurance Clash of the Titans in 2014 will not appear in this year’s semi-finals after he was knocked out by taxi driver Marson Johnson 21-18, 10-21, 21-11 on Saturday night at the Dover courts.

Since winning Bush Hall Finest late last year, Johnson, who often battles chronic back pains, has looked in tremendous form.

That form was obvious in the Silver Hill tournament and he peaked in an impressive dismissal of Jones on Saturday night. (KB)
