R2
TBD v (5) Aidan McHugh
TBD v Jack Draper
(8) Jack Molloy v (WC) Alejandro Garcia (ESP)
Jack M progresses to his projected seeding position while we have a guaranteed semifinalist in the doubles, with Jack D + partner playing Jake/Aidan. Ali is in the doubles semis, top seeded with Panna Udvardy
Boys R2
(Q) Florent Bax (FRA) v (5) Aidan McHugh
(4) Egor Noskin (RUS) v Jack Draper
(8) Jack Molloy d. (WC) Alejandro Garcia (ESP) 6-3 5-7 6-2
Splendid score by Jack M against a top 100 ranked player. Three boys in G2 semis is a welcome novelty. The one non-Brit is very strong though - the Russian who led his team to the Junior Davis Cup and followed that by winning last week's G2 without dropping a set.
SF
(5) Aidan McHugh v Jack Draper
Alen Avidzba (RUS) v (8) Jack Molloy
As expected Jack M found Avidzba too hot, but Aidan is through to his first G2 final. Jack D will have the consolation of joining the handful of 2001s ranked inside the top 200
SF
(5) Aidan McHugh d. Jack Draper 7-6(7) 6-0
Alen Avidzba (RUS) d. (8) Jack Molloy 6-2 6-2
A grade 2 SF for a 15-year-old is nothing to be sneezed at - and certainly the first set was competitive. The young Russian sounds like a future one to watch - but good luck to Aidan McHugh in the final!
