Krueger Falls in Junior Semifinals WIMBLEDON, England - Knocking at the door of victory and a trip to the boys junior singles final, Mitchell Krueger of Aledo, Texas, squandered five match points and fell to Filip Peliwo of Canada, 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-3 in the juniors" semifinals Friday. In the final, Peliwo will face top-seeded Luke Saville of Australia, who beat Gianluigi Quinzi of Italy, 6-3, 6-4. Peliwo, seeded second, seized openings and nearly captured the first set when Krueger grew nervous and faltered at 5-3. Peliwo pulled even at 5-5, but then suffered his own case of nerves to drop the set on a pair of forehand errors. "Maybe I could have done a little more," Krueger said. But he came up with some big points, down match point. Obviously if I had it back I would have done something different. Krueger praised Peliwo's persistence and said his failure to "go for my points" when he held the match in his hands had led to the defeat. "I don't think it was really me that made a bad mistake, or something like that," he said. He forced me into some tough points. Credit to him, he did a good job. The match turned into a furious struggle between two young sluggers. In the second set, Krueger, seeded eighth, worked his way to match point at 5-2. But the American couldn't convert and Peliwo battled back to 5-5 by a combination of deft shot-making and errors by Krueger. Leading 30-15 in the eleventh game, Krueger fell to the ground in a furious rally that Peliwo won with an overhead smash. Again, Krueger steadied himself, jammed a serve into Peliwo's body to take the game and the lead, 6-5. But Peliwo won his serve, which forced a tiebreak, and he quickly ran away with it. In the final set, Peliwo broke Krueger's serve in the eighth game and stepped to the line to serve out the match. Two backhand errors placed Krueger down match point, which Peliwo gratefully collected. Another Canadian junior, Francoise Abanda, who upset the top-seeded American Taylor Townsend in an earlier round, fell in the junior girl's singles semifinals to Elina Svitolina of the Ukraine, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2. Svitolina will face still another Canadian, Eugenie Bouchard, in the finals. Bouchard won a 7-6 (3), 6-4 victory over Anett Kontaveit of Estonia.
