When ever I see Burton play I always feel that I am watching a player with plenty of potential. He has a great build for a tennis player, a pretty good serve, is solid at net and can do some damage off the ground. Also he doesn't look like someone afraid of hard work (you don't get a physique like his by accident). If he can improve his consistency he could have a pretty good career.

A good day for Lewis & an up-and-down one for James:
QF: André Göransson & Simon Norenius (SWE/SWE) UNR lost to (2) Lewis Burton & James Marsalek WR 1501 by 4 & 1
The match to decide their semi-final opponents (the unranked French pair, Emilien Firmin & Yannick Jankovits, or the Swedish third seeds, Tobias Blomgren & Jesper Brunström, is still in progress.
Lewis serves it out to reach his 3rd Futures singles semi - and his 2nd in as many weeks! He is now just one point away from replacing the other 'LB' as the top GB teenager in the ATP rankings on Monday week.
QF: Lewis Burton WR 811 beat (3) Adrien Bossel (SUI) WR 516 (CH 345 last Nov) by 3 & 4
The top seed was replaced by a LL here, so in the semis, he will face a qualifier or a player ranked in the 800s.
