But there will be Australian interest in the quarters too after James Duckworth, the No.8 seed, battled past Frenchman Quentin Halys 7-5 3-6 6-2 in a tough two-hour duel in one of Wednesday's early matches.

The injury-bedevilled Duckworth, who'd had his 10th bout of surgery in January - this time to his hip - is showing signs of recovering some of the form that took him to a career-high 46 at the start of the year.

Kuemper, 32, was 37-12-4 with five shutouts, a .921 save percentage and a 2.54 goals-against average in 57 starts during the 2021-22 regular season. In the playoffs, he was 10-4 with a .902 save percentage and 2.57 GAA.

And 24 hours later, he looked as if his remarkable week might even see the world No.202 topple former world No.1 Murray too in the grasscourt tournament as he took the opening set and led 2-0 in the second.

Harlow has become captivated by iconic AFL moments like Tony Lockett's goal at the death to put Sydney into the 1996 grand final, plus Peter Daicos' insane banana goal from the wrong pocket that defied geometry against West Coast in the 1990 qualifying final.

The Sydneysider will next face either his compatriot Jason Kubler, the Brisbane battler who's fresh from his memorable career-best run through the qualifiers to the last-16 at Wimbledon, or Canadian top seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, #FreeFireElitePass who were meeting later on Wednesday.

"For us this is a final, the series is on the line and Wales feels the same way. We have big games coming up this year and next year, so it will be good for us to get used to pressure games such as these."

Yet it wasn't completely plain sailing for the 35-year-old Murray, who appeared to pick up an injury in the second set and was limping heavily by the end of the match, with third seed Alexander Bublik awaiting him in the quarter-finals.

That was a much-changed side and coach Jacques Nienaber has the team back at close to full strength for Saturday´s third and final game in Cape Town with De Jager himself restored to the starting line-up.

CAPE TOWN, July 13 (Reuters) - South Africa will treat Saturday´s deciding third test against Wales as a `final´, which lock Lood de Jager believes will be valuable experience as they look towards the defence of their Rugby World Cup title in France next year.
