I thought Harriet might have met her match when I saw Lucy was serving for the 1st set *5-3 up, but instead Harriet seems to have 'done a Bowtell', breaking to love and winning 5 games in a row to go 7-5 *1-0 up!

Meanwhile, Samantha Murray's QF opponent will be María Teresa Torró-Flor (ESP) WR 402 (CH 236 last May after winning a 25K title in Italy), who took out Amy Bowtell pretty convincingly today.

Its been a cracking week for Lucy given her recent injury, and Sam seems to be turning into Kyle Edmund, losing the first set, but if she wins the second, completely demolishing her opponent in the third.
SF: BROWN, Lucy (GBR) 578 lost to SMITKOVA, Tereza (CZE) WR 640 (= CH, 17yo) by 1 & 2 SF: MURRAY, Samantha (GBR) 7 370 lost to PITER, Katarzyna (POL) 5 351 (CH 213 in 2010) by 3 & 5
