The Zimbabwean lad won the tie 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 in the longest match of the tournament.
The match also produced the longest fought point as both players spent more than 30 minutes each trying to win the last point. The Zimbabwean needed it to clinch the match, while O'Brien, who was serving at this point in time, needed to hold on to the serve, at least to postpone the inevitable.
The result was a game that produced four deuce, as the South African cancelled one Zimbabwean advantage after the other, before Ngaranganga eventually hit the winner with a fast cross court forehand return to the base, leaving his opponent bemused on the other end of the base.
