SF: (2) Liam Broady v (6) Patrick Ofner (AUT) JWR 26 (CH 10 in May)

H2H 0-1, Perin Memorial Final 2010 3 & 2, so another revenge mission for Liam. Given that their previous meeting was on clay and Ofner took out Kern today, it looks like clay is the Austrian's strength. Can Liam "Muster" (igmc!) the strength needed to beat two Austrians this weekend? (that's probably what he'll need to do to win the title)

First Grade 1 doubles final for both (though Liam has of course won Grade As) but no title. Liam commented that they were the only pair to have breakpoints in the second set.

F: (3) Cagnina/Vanneste (BEL) d. (4) Broady/Ward-Hibbert (GBR) 6-4 7-6(5)

Thiem waltzed through the final 1 & 0, defending both his North American G1s, keeping him in with a shot at top 5 if he does the hattrick at the Orange Bowl
