Ten­nis queen Jor­dane Dook­ie cruised in­to the quar­ter­fi­nals of the J4 Kingston Ja­maica Ten­nis Tour­na­ment by de­feat­ing home­town favourite Thandie Samp­son in straight sets 6-3, 6-0 on Mon­day.

The win comes a week af­ter she was dumped out of the J5 Kingston sin­gles as well as out of the dou­bles that fol­lowed. Dook­ie will now face num­ber two seed Athena Rosas of the USA to­mor­row as to­day is an off day.

Dook­ie will al­so team-up with Megh­na Arun Ku­mar of the USA to con­test the dou­bles to­mor­row as well. The pair will come up against the team of Alyssa James from Ja­maica and Kay­la Bri­anne Moore of the USA.

Yes­ter­day Dook­ie told Guardian Me­dia she in­tends to stay con­sis­tent and ex­e­cute on her strengths against Rosas.

In the open­ing game against Samp­son, the lo­cal ten­nis queen said she had to over­come some nerves be­fore gain­ing the win. “I didn’t know what to ex­pect against Samp­son so I was ner­vous at the be­gin­ning, but I even­tu­al­ly got over it and won.

“Com­ing up against Rosas it will be dif­fer­ent be­cause I have al­ready set­tled in­to the tour­na­ment. To be­sides, I saw her play so I just want to be con­sis­tent and ex­e­cute,” Dook­ie ex­plained.
