Eden started quickly, out to 3-0, but Manisha has pulled it back to be on serve again. Manisha, *3-4

Laura clinging on for dear life here, recovering from a break down then staving off more break points to level at 4-4*.

Now 5-5*

That's a first ever ITF SF for Laura, a fantastic day for her after over 4 1/2 hours on court.

Now guaranteed 4 Brit SFists this week, and at least 1 finalist.

She'll be pleaed to see she has a walkover into the doubles SF - pehaps less os if she has to play that SF later today.

Laura, who in her SF plays the winner of the match in progress between the two other Brits, guaranteeing us a finalist.

In that other match. Manisha leads by a set, with the second set very close. Manisha 6-4 *5-6

Eden takes the second set, 4-6 7-5

You have to assume that Manisha Foster was getting tired as she went down 6-2 in the third to Eden Silva.

A magnificent day from Laura, a remarkable return to action from Eden, and already a very good tournament from the Brit contingent generally
