Had to come to an end somewhere....

Semifinal

Rithvik Choudary BOLLIPALLI (IND) def. (Q) Kai MAXTED (GBR) 6-3 6-2


In the dubs, though, there was guaranteed GB interest to go through to the final, with Zyaan+ edning up putting out the all British duo:

SF: Amir Mohammad ADABJOU (IRI) / Zyaan AHMED (GBR) [2] 4-1 4-2 Matthew BEECHER (GBR) / George LOFFHAGEN (GBR)

Just come across this thread. Know Kai well as he belongs to my local club. Pleased to see him starting well. He has a younger brother Lui who is outstanding for his age despite being quite small. The 2 of them practise for about 20 hours every weekend!! Good luck to them
