Good stuff from both, who are just two matches away from emulating Kyle Edmund, our last finalist in any of the categories - losing to Nikola Milojevic in the under 14s. Max sets up a rematch with the French number 1 who he beat in France but lost to in Britain earlier in the year (Moutet won the Bolton title). Nastya looks to be the favourite in her quarter final, but won't be against either of the players she could face in the semis.

I'm unable to post updates for 3 days, so someone else please continue to do so (both pairs are out of the doubles). The draws can be found at http://www.tenniseurope.org/news_item.aspx?id=75710

Nastya and Max both lost to the eventual winners, who both won their finals in emphatic style. In the under 18s Belinda Bencic finally lost a junior match for the first time this year - to eventual winner Barbora Krejcikova,
