In a sea of Anzacs Surrey born Rhett Purcell, who transferred allegiance from New Zealand a couple of years ago, is the top seed here. Rhett has won some doubles titles, but the semis is the furthest he has managed in ITF singles up to now, so here is a chance to better his record.

Rhett equals his best ever ITF singles result - just. His next opponent has only dropped a handful of games this week, so it's high time he started to misfire - though that may be a c heap shot.

(1) Rhett Purcell (GBR) d. (8) Jack Heslin (NZL) 6-2 0-6 7-6(5)
And a little 'good luck' to Holly Horsfall, too, age 15, who's in the final of the British Tour competition at Wrexham later today, against Nicole Peterson.
Congrats to Rhett.
