Although struggling in singles Lucy and partner managed to down a seeded pair (Allgurin / Bouchard) to reach the quarters. Further success would mean the first Grade A semi by any girl other than Laura and Heather since Wimbledon 2008 (Jade Curtis / Jocelyn Rae)

The current match is one of the girls semis: Monica Puig (who beat Elisha) against Colombian Yuliana Lizarazo. Puig (a top tenner) has the yellow top, but is struggling with her serve (4 doubles in her opening service game) and trails 1-3*

It is followed by one of the boys semis: Duilio Beretta (who beat George) against Maurice Bourgue (one of the top 1994 boys from France).
