30-15

RJA · Hall of fame

Third set goes to a tie break

steven · Tennis legend

Had to go for a bit. Jack led the tiebreak 3-0, but that lead got cancelled out too. However, he has just edged ahead with another mini-break *4-3. Come on Jack!

Spoke too soon - Kern gets the m/b back.

... and the German then goes a mini-break ahead

4-5*

steven · Tennis legend

2 MPs ... the first on Kern's serve ... which Jack saves.

Still 1 more though, on Jack's serve ... also saved ... *6-6

steven · Tennis legend

Jack's first match point! 7-6*

steven · Tennis legend

Saved by Kern ...

steven · Tennis legend

Another MP for Jack, this time on his own serve .. *8-7

steven · Tennis legend

Yes!!!!

Very happy for him!

Great win

Thanks Steven
Unable to follow on livescores so this was the next best thing

Now that has cheered me up no end.

Well played Jack - and thanks !!

Guaranteed a finalist now, and if I am not mistaken, a first time finalist as I don't think either Jack or Tom has ever reached a final.

Easy (not)!!! Very very good win. Even better because he was a set and a break up, let it slip to then have to come back from a break down final set, then save 2 MPs in the TB. Class!

Tom should be favourite for the SF, but the winner will be a clear underdog in the final. Nice problem to have.

5 Brits still on singles action on a Saturday makes this a very good week.

QF: Tom Farquharson WR 679 beat (Q) Miles Bugby WR 1556 by 2 & 3
QF: Jack Carpenter WR 749 beat (2/WC) Robin Kern (GER) WR 369 by 6-2 4-6 7-6(7) biggrin

SF: Tom Farquharson WR 679 v Jack Carpenter WR 749

Tom is 0-4 in Futures singles semis and Jack 0-2, so an unseeded Brit will make their first Futures singles final here
