South African Wesley Moodie braved big serving American Alberto Francis in two sets that went to the distance before the seventh seed won 7-6(9), 7-6(4) to make it to the quarterfinals in the ONGC $50,000 ATP Challenger tennis tournament here on Wednesday.

Francis announced his intentions in the first game when he fired three aces after being down 0-15, as the American opened up 4-1 lead after he broke Moodie in the second game. The South African shot back in the seventh game when the American double faulted before bringing the scores at 4-4. But Francis was in no mood to give up as he charged down to the net and scored winner to break Moodie in the ninth before he lost his rhythm in the next.

In the ensuing tie-breaker, Moodie kept his cool before he found the opening to smash a down the line winner to take it 11-9.
