QF: (2) Jack MOLLOY (GBR) v (11) Ahmed Amine HERRESS (MAR)

Both Jack and Bradley won their respective doubles, too, - into the QF (looks like Karim's match got suspended with them a set and 3-1 up, and held over till tomorrow)

NB This singles' result is already Jack's biggest point counter, so congrats to him.
