There's a chance of identical semis to last week if Geens and the 3 Brits win their quarter-finals. However the top seed wasn't playing last week, but even so he lost to Jonathan Cornish earlier in the year.
Three out of the four semifinalists are the same as last week. Unfortunately the one missing is Josh, whose winning streak comes to an end. We are guaranteed a finalist in the doubles, where Josh and Niha are on opposing sides in the semis.
QF :
(9) Peter Ashley (GBR) d. (1) Marcos Kalovelonis (GRE) 6-4 5-7 6-3 Efe Yurtacan (TUR) d. Joshua Sapwell (GBR) 6-4 4-6 6-4 (2) Clay Crawford (GBR) d. (5) Cem Ilkel (TUR) 6-3 7-6(3)
SF
(9) Peter Ashley (GBR) v (12) Clement Geens (BEL) Efe Yurtacan (TUR) v (2) Clay Crawford (GBR)
Ashley / Crawford knocked out of the doubles so just Josh remains there with his partner Completo.
Oops apologies that I hadn't noticed that it was Niha ( Nihar ? ) and partner that beat Ashley / Crawford in the doubles L16 and so he was in the QFs as well as Josh Good on him for now reraching the semis.

oops also - between us we haven't done him proud this week You are quite right that it should be Nihar. I have not come across him before, but make an educated guess from a couple of google links that he is based at the Bruguera Academy in Spain.
josh played 12 matches in 14 days, plus doubles exploits, would like to think his loss is down to this. great two weeks for him, hopefully another trophy in the cabinet this week yet
Good on him for now reraching the semis.
