and we thought some of our Brits were bad

Ouanna def Reister 36 61 76(6)

Reister had 10 match points! inc 4 in a row in the TB.

A little disappointing to see Boggo lose, especially having been a break up in the first set and had set points on his own serve in the tiebreak, but Gil is a decent player and having won a title last week, Boggo probably wasn't at his freshest, but he still probably should have won the opening set.

Hopefully the few days off he has now will help him ahead of wherever he is playing next week at ATP qualies, which I assume he will try for with no challengers in Europe.

Great win for J&J over the top seeds as by the sounds of it they were a set and a break down.

Comprehensive for Flemski and lets hope for an all-British final here.

From Jamie M's website:

Jamie and Jamie Delgado are through to the semi-finals of the Orleans challenger after a 1-6, 7-6, 10-7 win over Qureshi/Rettenmaier. A big win for the guys, given they were a set and 4-2 down. They won five on the bounce from 7-5 in the match tie-break. Speaking after the match, Jamie said: "Great comeback from the guys. We were getting beaten quite badly but felt that we were playing well and had been a bit unlucky. Once we broke back, we started to get our confidence and played two good tie-breaks."

Good wins for the British boys and a decent chance of one of them claiming the title here, hopefully in an all-British final.
