His quarter-final opponent is ranked just outside the top 50, and some will have seen him being outwitted by Luke Hammond's superior grass court game at Wimbledon

QF

(1) Dan Added (FRA) v (Q) Anton Matusevich

Oakland2002 · All-time great

Nice to see Anton doing well in the school holidays, no 2001 boys in the top 150 which adds a little perspective.

...Luke's victory at junior wimbly being the match that elicited the cute quip from steven that 'Dan Added has just been subtracted'

DavidC · Tennis legend

Dan wasn't in danger of being subtracted today, but Anton or Damian/Jack will be in the doubles final

QF

(1) Dan Added (FRA) d. (Q) Anton Matusevich 6-2 6-3

Damian/Jack won the semi but couldn't follow it with the title

Currlin/Paul (SUI) d. Molloy/Rodriguez 6-3 6-3
