Josh has a rather easier time of it this time, taking the tie-break by 7-3:

SF: Louk Sorensen (IRL) WR 480 lost to (2) Josh Goodall WR 283 by 6-7(12) 6-7(3) smile

Into the final he marches! No doubt he'll have to face the German top seed, Bastian Knittel (WR183), in that.

Josh: "O wow! Just played off my absolute face! GET IN THERE!!!!"

He will indeed play top seed Knittel in the Final.

Well in Josh!

Knittel took the 1st set of the Final 6-2 but it seems I checked the scoreboard again at the right time to see a bit of drama.

2-6 4-5*, Knittel serving for the match, Josh saves (at least one) match point, breaks and then holds to love for 6-5*! ... it is now tiebreak time.
